So far, we’ve seen her do this with Madama Butterfly. There’s also the new Demon Masquerade mechanic, which will let Bayonetta fuse with her Infernal Demons to take on their powers and appearance for a limited time. Demon Slave will let Bayonetta summon one of her Infernal Demons, such as Gomorrah or Malphas, and take direct control over them to deal out massive damage. Two new mechanics should add some welcome variety to combat. When it comes to gameplay, the fast and flowing action is returning and there’s a good chance that the game will have new attacks and combos to dig into. Instead of fighting angels or demons this time around, Bayonetta will need to use her signature guns and Witch Time ability to battle against human-created bioweapons called homunculi.īayonetta herself has a new look, which some fans have speculated is related to Cereza, the child version of Bayonetta seen in the original game. The trailers thus far have depicted Bayonetta and other characters fighting in locations like Tokyo and China, and developer PlatinumGames has teased that the game will feature other locales too. The story of Bayonetta 3 is relatively unknown at the moment. Bayonetta 3 has been a much-anticipated game for fans of the genre for a long time now, and they may want to know what new mechanics and additions they can expect from Bayonetta’s latest adventure. The balance of familiar but fresh gameplay is even more important in the hack and slash genre, and games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry continually add new mechanics with each new game. At the same time, sequels also need to innovate and tread enough new ground so that the experience feels fresh and exciting. They need to be familiar enough with what has come before in order to not upset the fans that enjoyed those previous games. Sequels in gaming need to toe a very fine line.
