The series is known for its exhilarating action where players take control of the alluring witch Bayonetta, but also features a story for players to enjoy that pushes beyond the bounds of time itself. Alongside the plot\u2019s astonishing developments is a carefully crafted setting and foreshadowing to pull the player forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consistent force behind the series\u2019 scenario is Hideki Kamiya. While Kamiya\u2019s role between the games has changed, his central involvement in the story has not. And on June 7, Kamiya took to Twitter to discuss the story saying, \u201cif you\u2019ve played the past titles, I think you will enjoy <em>Bayonetta 3<\/em> 100 times more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u306a\u3093\u3068\u306a\u304f\u6539\u3081\u3066\u3053\u308c\u3092\u8a00\u3044\u305f\u304f\u306a\u3063\u305f\u3093\u3060\u3051\u3069\u3001\u300c\u30d9\u30e8\u30cd\u30c3\u30bf\uff13\u300d\u3092\u904a\u3093\u3067\u307f\u3088\u3046\u3068\u601d\u3063\u3066\u4e0b\u3055\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u65b9\u306f\u3001\u305c\u3072\u4eca\u306e\u3046\u3061\u306b\u300c\u30d9\u30e8\u30cd\u30c3\u30bf\uff11\u300d\u300c\u30d9\u30e8\u30cd\u30c3\u30bf\uff12\u300d\u3092\u904a\u3093\u3067\u304a\u3044\u3066\u6b32\u3057\u3044\u3067\u3059\u2026<br>\u305d\u306e\u65b9\u304c\u304a\u8a71\u3092100\u500d\u697d\u3057\u3081\u308b\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3059\u2026<br><br>\u30d9\u30e8\u30cd\u30c3\u30bf\u30fb\u30d9\u30e8\u30cd\u30c3\u30bf2 \u7d39\u4ecb\u6620\u50cf <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OO2c3zMwZH\">https:\/\/t.co\/OO2c3zMwZH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u795e\u8c37\u82f1\u6a39\ud83c\udf40 Hideki Kamiya\ud83c\udf40 (@HidekiKamiya_X) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HidekiKamiya_X\/status\/1534005515432660994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Kamiya, the stories of <em>Bayonetta <\/em>and <em>Bayonetta 2<\/em> were intentionally made so that the stories of either could be enjoyed no matter which one you played first. As for <em>Bayonetta 3<\/em>, the scenario was written under the assumption that players will have played the previous games. Kamiya explains that awareness of the series has spread adequately far among gamers, so he wanted to add more depth to the world of <em>Bayonetta<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bayonetta<\/em> and <em>Bayonetta<\/em> 2 contain stories that can be enjoyed on their own and are put together in such a way that players without previous knowledge going in won\u2019t be left behind. However, the two are firmly connected, though in a somewhat particular way. No matter which one you play first, things will still click once you reach the climax. Their connections are different from simply being just a continuation of the story, while still leaving breadcrumbs for those who have played both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on Kamiya\u2019s comments, <em>Bayonetta 3<\/em> may continue the developments of both games while pushing the overall story forward. It\u2019s also possible that it may lay even more groundwork for the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kamiya\u2019s tweets drew in lots of reactions from excited fans as well. In addition, <em>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> director Masahiro Sakurai tweeted an image of Bayonetta who is featured in the game. Kamiya responded with, \u201cMasahiro\u2026 making such a post with this kind of timing,\u201d getting <em>Bayonetta<\/em> fans even more excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\uff9d\u3082\u3046\u2026\u307e\u30fc\u304f\u3093\u305f\u3089\u3053\u306e\u30bf\u30a4\u30df\u30f3\u30b0\u3067\u3053\u3093\u306a\u6295\u7a3f\u3092\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EbjDQ2TdXn\">https:\/\/t.co\/EbjDQ2TdXn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u795e\u8c37\u82f1\u6a39\ud83c\udf40 Hideki Kamiya\ud83c\udf40 (@HidekiKamiya_X) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HidekiKamiya_X\/status\/1534062708630650880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bayonetta 3<\/em> is scheduled to launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2022.
