Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is only a couple of months away, and with that in mind we’re starting to hear about pre-order bonuses for the game. We’ll keep this post updated as information on that front is shared in the coming weeks.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon comes just a few months after Bayonetta 3. This title is taking an entirely different approach for the series, however. As the name implies, this is more of an origin story in which players go on a journey to save Cereza’s mother. It has a more colorful, storybook-inspired look with a focus on exploration, combat, and puzzle solving.

Knockout City to shut down in June
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Velan Studios announced today that it will shut down Knockout City in just a few months. On June 6, 2023, the servers will be closed and the game will be no longer playable.
Regarding the decision, director Jeremy Russo said it was a “difficult” one to make, “but a necessary and important one for our studio.” An FAQ on the official site further explained that “a lot of our systems supporting long-term player retention are in need of significant changes” which is “virtually impossible to do” as a smaller studio with a limited team size that would also want to introduce new content. “This means stopping development on the Knockout City, and exploring new possibilities in future experiences, whether in Knockout City or a different world,” the FAQ states.
