Do you like Bayonetta? All the better, because the beauty could keep you company for many, many years.
Shut down for years, the Bayonetta license experienced a real revival in 2022 with a particularly well-received Bayonetta 3 and was even crowned at the Game Awards. Also, a new game was announced during the Geoff Keighley show and according to Platinum Games Vice President Hideki Kamiya, we’ll be eating Bayonetta for a while.
Bayonetta 3 would be the first of a long series
Because yes, in addition to Bayonetta Origins, which will be released in March 2023, Kamiya tells IGN that he has the idea of making at least two more main games as a follow-up bayonet 3. According to him, the fourth and fifth installments of the franchise will also be presented to the studio soon. Better still, at PlatinumGames we are talking about nine new games, exactly that. For him, the license cannot stop and the result promises to be huge.
Personally, I can’t imagine the Bayonetta series ever ending. I want to make a Bayonetta 4 and a Bayonetta 5 and intend to present them to the company. We often talk internally about how we could redo it.

As a bonus, spin-offs like Bayonetta Origins are being considered. Kamiya, for example, dreams of an adventure entirely devoted to Jeanne, Bayonetta’s accomplice. The latter could therefore well have the right to her solo game in the near future, although nothing can confirm yet. Hideki Kamiya, as enthusiastic as he is, needs to sell his projects. On the other hand, with a strong fan base and a bayonet 3 critically acclaimed, it’s hard to imagine The Witch stopping on such a good path. In any case, Kamiya assures us that it will be difficult, very difficult.
