After Bayonetta 2 hit in 2014, the series became so much more than just a one and done successor to Devil May Cry. It was a fully-fledged universe that many fans started to grab on to; as evidenced by the discussion behind the recently-released Bayonetta 3story beats. Now it even has its own spinoff! Thankfully, it still keeps the same witchy style intact, but with a...

Alas, poor Babylon's Fall. The game has finally fallen down its final flight of stairs. As we reported nearly six months ago, the game's end of life arrived at the end of February, but folks are just now noticing that the studio published patch notes for it.
Available to peruse publicly on Steam, the Version 1.4.0 patch notes simply state:

Somebody deserves a whole stack of lollipops — PlatinumGames has proudly announced that its dazzling hack 'n' slash sequel Bayonetta 3 has smashed past one million global sales. The long-long-long awaited sequel first launched on Nintendo Switch back in October 2022.
The sales milestone was modestly announced on the official PlatinumGames Twitter account, and sees the popular...

Just this past week, Platinum released the first major post-launch update for Bayonetta 3, and it was a doozy. Not only did it address some long-running concerns from the community for a few encounters (and Viola's moveset), but it also directly impacted a really low key aspect of the game: the playable teaser for the upcoming release Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the...

Bayonetta 3 came and conquered, but Platinum Games has been infrequently tweaking the game since its October 2022 release. Beyond the initial day one launch patch, this week is the only time it's been adjusted in a major way: in this instance, via version 1.2.0, which was implemented late on January 10, 2023.
So there's a few things this patch addresses:

If you asked a member of the Platinum marketing team, they'd probably tell you that Bayonetta 3 as a standalone story that you can dive into. But if you asked Platinum dev and executive Hideki Kamiya, he'd urge you to play the initial two games first. The latter is mostly true: if you can play the...

A Bayonetta 3 patch has been released, just in time for the game's launch on Friday. The good news? It's short and sweet.
So the first bit involves "Naive Angel Mode," which, in the words of Platinum themselves, "lowers the amount of violence and sexual content." Apparently the day one patch will apply this optional mode to "more scenes," and...

Bayonetta 1 and 2 are up there with Devil May Cry 3 and Ninja Gaiden Black as one of a select few all-time action greats. There's a strong case that until Devil May Cry 5 came along, Platinum was practically peerless in the contemporary action space. Now, we have Bayonetta 3.
So how do you follow up on prior perfection? More of it.
