As revealed in today’s Nintendo Direct,Bayonettawill be up against man-made bioweapons called Homunculi.
She’ll be joined by series favourites Luka, Jeanne, and new ally Viola.
Perhaps the biggest addition (literally) to combat this time are the infernal demons.
Bayonetta 3 Bewitching action gameplay!
Now they’ll join her in combat directly and will prove especially useful during witch time.
However, Bayonetta is exposed while summoning and susceptible to attacks.
Some can even be used outside of battle to aid traversal.
The trailer additionally provides a fresh look at Viola in action.
She’s a witch in training and “holds the key to this story”.
She battles with a sword and magical darts so will feel different to Bayonetta.
She too can trigger witch time, but with perfect blocking rather than dodging.
Lastly, an extra accessory can be used to simplify combat to one button.
Equipping the Immortal Marionette will allow players to focus more on the story instead.
Bayonetta 3 is set for release on Switch on 28th October.
