Hellena Taylor has again weighed in on the voice acting situation with Bayonetta 3, and has now confirmed that she was offered more than $4,000.
Hellena initially said earlier this month that she received “an insulting offer” to voice Bayonetta for the series’ third entry. In the end, she said the final offer was $4,000. However, Bloomberg then reported a few days after that PlatinumGames actually offered Taylor between $3,000 and $4,000 per session for at least five sessions. The outlet noted Taylor asked for a six-figure fee and residuals in response. Taylor was asked for a comment and denied Bloomberg’s report.
