Bayonetta 3 is a game that actually exists, and it’s out October 28th

Update: Nintendo Australia has confirmed that the physical release of Bayonetta will be available at EB Games.

Original Story: Late Wednesday Nintendo dropped a fresh trailer of Bayonetta 3 showing a little more gameplay and finally giving the game a release date.

Bayonetta 3 will be out on October 28th. You can preorder it already on the eShop. In addition to the standard version of the game there will also be “Trinity Masquerade Edition” which features a 200-page art book and three special game sleeves that can form a panoramic artwork.

So far the limited edition is live on the Australian My Nintendo Store, it can be preordered right for for $144.95. It will be available at other “select retailers”.

The limited edition sold out in a couple of hours this morning on the My Nintendo Store, but EB Games do have it up now, its online only so you won’t be able to preorder it in store.

Additionally we are getting a physical release of the first Bayonetta game as well. Previously the first Bayonetta was only available as a download code within Bayonetta 2. Nintendo Australia says to “stay tuned for more information” regarding the availability of this one but it’ll be out on September 30th.

Bayonetta 3 has been a long time coming with the game first announced all the way back at The Game Awards in December 2017. The countdown is now officially on.

Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game for Nintendo Switch. 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 man-made bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.
