Bayonetta 2 has been dated for release in North America. Nintendo has announced that the game will be released on October 24 through the eShop as well as retail outlets.
The Wii U exclusive title from Platinum games will continue the story of the gun-toting witch, Bayonetta.
The retail version of the game will come included with the original Bayonetta, remastered for the Wii U platform. The game was originally released for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in 2010.
Interestingly enough, the Wii U version of Bayonetta will allow the main character to dress up in various costumes that pay homage to Nintendo characters, including Link, Samus, and Princess Peach.
In addition to being an all new game with a lengthy single-player campaign, Bayonetta 2 is set to offer a two-player online co-op mode called Tag Climax, that’s certain to shake up the way the game is played.
Nintendo describes it as follows: "In online quick matches, you can wager halos, the in-game currency that you earn by defeating enemies. You receive a large sum back if you can prove you're a better fighter than your partner. Halos can then be traded in a story mode shop to unlock new techniques, buy accessories and pick up alternate weapon variations.”
