Bayonetta 3 to include Naive Angel Mode
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
PlatinumGames has revealed more information about Bayonetta 3, and we now have word that the game will include a Naive Angel Mode.
Bayonetta has always been a mature series. But with this new feature, PlatinumGames says “more people can fully enjoy it” and “you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what’s on screen.” When the option is on, characters will show a little less skin as they’ll be more covered up. It goes without saying, but this is completely optional.
