Things are about to get physical. The first Bayonetta game—previously available in North America as a digital version only— is releasing as physical version for the first time on a Nintendo system in North America! Bayonetta is a butt-kicking, havoc-wreaking witch, and she’ll shoot, slam, and slice angels as she uncovers the truth about her own past. Her weapons and moves are all stylishly over-the-top, but she can also dodge attacks to slow down time and inflict Torture Attacks on her enemies. Who is Bayonetta? Bayonetta is a fashionable and foxy Umbra Witch who, after being asleep at the bottom of a lake for 500 years, awakes with no memory of who she really is. As Bayonetta, punish the unrelenting armies of angels that come after you with deadly devices, evade and mesmerize them with Witch Time, and use Wicked Weaves to summon Infernal Demons to send them back to their maker! You can even dress up in four Nintendo-themed costumes—Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Link, and Samus Aran.

Once upon a time, there was a young witch named Cereza… Long before this trainee of the dark arts would come to be called Bayonetta, she took a fateful journey into the forbidden Avalon Forest. Alongside her was Cheshire, her very first demon, possessing Cereza’s stuffed toy. Play as both Cereza and Cheshire and search through the treacherous forest to look for the power to save Cereza’s mother. Turn the pages of Cereza’s story as you explore the enchanting, storybook-inspired Avalon Forest.

The witch is back and more powerful than ever! Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs. Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than life battles where you directly control the action. Fight your way through the streets of Tokyo, the mountains of China, and many other locales! Along the way you’ll meet a virtual coven of Bayonettas, each more fabulous than the last. You’ll also slash and slay as Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and a capricious companion, the demon Cheshire. Find out what fate awaits Bayonetta, and if this arcane alliance can really save reality! Nintendo SEGA Published by Nintendo. Nintendo Switch is a trademark of Nintendo. Nintendo.
