The most recent entry in the Bayonetta series, Bayonetta 3, is a 2022 action-adventure hack and slash game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo for the Switch. The protagonist, Bayonetta, faces bioweapons called Homunculi and an entity known as the Singularity, which poses a threat to the multiverse. She is supported by various characters, including alternate universe versions of herself and a new witch-in-training named Viola.
The gameplay of Bayonetta 3 follows the action hack and slash style of its predecessors. Players control Bayonetta as she engages in combat using melee attacks and gunplay. Dodging enemy attacks triggers “Witch Time,” slowing down time and enemies, allowing uninterrupted attacks or real-time traversal for solving environmental puzzles. Unique to this game are the “Demon Slave” and “Demon Masquerade” mechanics. The former lets players control one of Bayonetta’s Infernal Demons for various attacks, while the latter allows Bayonetta to fuse with a summoned Infernal Demon, gaining magic-based abilities.
