Nintendo and PlatinumGames have both briefly commented on the future of Bayonetta in a recent interview.
Only a few months after the debut of Bayonetta 3 – which released five years after it was announced – the series just saw the launch of another title with Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon will be launching worldwide in just a few days, but some early reviews are now starting to come online.
This Switch exclusive is quite different from previous entries in the series. Whereas the franchise has been known for its hardcore third-person action, PlatinumGames is mixing things up with more of a top-down perspective in which players control both Cereza and Cheshire simultaneously. The title also serves as a prequel to the main trilogy.
Here’s a roundup of initial reviews for Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon:

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.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered shares sneak peek of upcoming Luka’s Mission DLC
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Back when PlatinumGames held its Kickstarter for The Wonderful 101: Remastered, one of the stretch goals that backers were able to reach was a set of DLC featuring Luka as its main character, aptly titled Luka’s Mission. Even though it hasn’t been detailed up until this point, PlatinumGames has finally decided to share a small minute-long sneak peek at this DLC.
Sadly, there aren’t too many details to latch onto from this video, but it does provide a first look at a development build for the DLC. It will be a 2D side scrolling adventure game, and we can see a focus on platforming and shooting elements in the video. Again, no additional details or release date were confirmed, but it’s good to see that work is steadily progressing on these last few Kickstarter goals.
You can have a look at the Luka’s Mission Sneak Peek below.
