Bayonetta 2 getting the full, very exhaustive soundtrack treatment

It comes packed on five whole discs too!

A large majority of Wii U exclusives have yet to receive a proper soundtrack release, which is why it’s kind of surprising that PlatinumGames and SEGA will be issuing a full release for Bayonetta 2 some time in the near future. Not even Wonderful 101 received the same treatment!

SEGA’s in-house record label, Wavemaster, has announced that they will be releasing the Bayonetta 2 Original Soundtrack on October 29th. There has been no official tracklisting as of yet, but the album will feature all the music that will appear in the game.

As you’d expect, the major composer and producer for the game, Masami Ueda, will produce the soundtrack album. Ueda has previously worked on Resident Evil, Okami and Devil May Cry before he moved to PlatinumGames where he also produced the original Bayonetta.

As with all Japanese releases, the entire five-disc collection will cost roughly 5200 Japanese Yen, which translates roughly into 55 Australian Dollars.

It’s not very likely we’ll get this eclectic release anywhere else but Japan, but we’ll be sure to update you if we hear anything else.

Bayonetta 2 is releasing in Japan on September 20th. It will be releasing in Western territories some time in October, though we’ve yet to have a concrete release date confirmed.
