However, despite many Nintendo Directs coming and going, only one in September 2021 gave us any more footage or information about our Umbra Witch.
Today’s new trailer not only gives us a release date of October 28, 2022, but also a lot more information on the game’s story and gameplay.
Bayonetta is known for her ability to transform into a panther, sea serpent, and sometimes butterfly.

Alongside Bayonetta, Jeanne, Luka, Rodin, and Enzo will all make a comeback, as well as what looks like a new playable character.
The second half of the trailer focused on gameplay of a new character called Viola.
She carries a long katana, which she does combat with and summons her own beasts from.
While we don’t find out too much of her story, she appears to be working alongside Bayonetta, and has some history with Luka.
