Hideki-san reassures the followers of the witch of Umbra. The development of Bayonetta 3 for Nintendo Switch "progresses properly."
Platinum Games does not cease to monopolize the foci of today. Beyond the success of The Wonderful 101 in Kickstarter and the next "big 4", the studio has a project of maximum relevance for the Nintendo Switch catalog: Bayonetta 3.
In an interview with Famitsu, Hideki Kamiya said that the development of the game "progresses properly." According to him, the teaser revealed at The Game Awards 2017 contains “a multitude of hidden information” for fans.
At the beginning of the year, Kenichi Sato, president and CEO of the company, anticipated that this 2020 is "the beginning of a new stage." At the moment we know two of his projects on the grid of upcoming releases: Babylon’s Fall (with Square Enix) and Bayonetta 3 itself.
Origin of the Witch of Umbra
The interview granted to the Japanese media influenced the origin of the witch of Umbra. Hideki-san acknowledged that the first installment was developed only for Xbox 360 and that they did not even think about transferring it to PlayStation 3. “We did not know at that time which console players would enjoy our games more, so we prioritized the platform where it was easier to develop . We could not afford a multi-platform launch, ”says Atsushi Inaba, game designer and producer at Platinum Games, another interviewee. Later events you already know.
"I remember there was great joy among the team when we tried the game, invoking demons and making her lose her clothes," Kamiya said. However, Inaba clarifies that it was not "for something dirty", but a way to celebrate that their ideas worked together very well.
For the part of the study, we have recently received the tenth anniversary package of Bayonetta and Vanquish, now available on PS4 and Xbox One. The conclusions of our Reviews were concise: “Both perfectly encapsulate the Platinum spirit, one of the best studies of action not for their resources or narrative claims, but for their love towards the game as an experience built from their mechanics. ”
