Bayonetta 3 is almost like the Loch Ness Monster for the Nintendo fanbase. Because it was announced all the way back in 2017 during The Game Awards, and fans of the Nintendo Switch were happy to be getting back to playing the Umbra Witch again.

In the words of the bewitching and battle-ready protagonist herself, ‘Let’s dance, boys!’ Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than life battles where you directly”
