Leaker claims Bayonetta 3 is coming this October

Bayonetta 3 has been one of the most anticipated Switch games since the threequel was first announced all the way back in 2017. Unfortunately, we have seen very little from the game otherwise, aside from a trailer confirming its 2022 release year. Now, ahead of an official announcement, we know exactly when it will be released.

This information comes from Nintendo insider SyluxHunter, who has in the past accurately leaked a number of Switch-related announcements, from details pertaining to the most recent Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase, to previous Nintendo announcements, and even some non-Nintendo revelations.

According to SyluxHunter, “Bayonetta 3 will release October 28”. Very few other details were given, though SyluxHunter did confirm that Bayonetta was not intended to be at the recent Nintendo Partner Showcase, saying “FYI for all the nitpickers: I never said Bayonetta 3 would be in the [previous] Partner Direct” – suggesting that another Direct will take place between now and October.

What we have seen from Bayonetta 3 so far certainly looks to be taking the series to 11 when it comes to the amount of overwhelming and abundant action on the screen. Hopefully the Nintendo Switch’s hardware is able to keep up with the game’s ambition. Fortunately it seems we won't have to wait too long to find out.
