Bayonetta 3

PlatinumGames is still keeping quiet on Bayonetta 3, which was announced for Switch at The Game Awards back in 2017. However, in an interview with VGC, studio head Atsushi Inaba did share a nugget of information regarding the team’s approach to development. Bayonetta 3 will involve a change in design process based on Platinum’s experience creating the first two entries in the series, Inaba said.

Gaijin Entertainment announced today that Blades of Time is returning on Switch. It will be packed with a revamped multiplayer mode in which “players can engage in action-packed MOBA combat leading hordes of NPC monsters against the armies of other players.”
