Bayonetta 3 development “going very, very well”
Bayonetta 3 is quickly closing in on the first anniversary of its original announcement. Revealed at The Game Awards last December, it’s the only time Nintendo and PlatinumGames have shown off the project in an official capacity.
Platinum’s Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba did provide a small update during a stage event at the Bitsummit Roadshow: Tokyo earlier today. It was mentioned that Bayonetta 3 is “on course” and the development team is “in sync.”
It was also mentioned:
“It’s nice to be able to tell you that everything is going very, very well. We’re all very excited about what we’re doing on that game.”
In related news, Kamiya discussed the origins of how Bayonetta’s gun heels came to be. He originally thought about having guns and using them both to shoot and hit enemies. After talking about the idea to the animator, Kamiya was given a suggestion that since Bayonetta could hit enemies with her guns, players should be able to kick them as well.
