Warning, risk of spoilers! Anyway, that’s what we’re told. l’ACB (the Australian classification body, the equivalent of our GO).
Indeed, in the page dedicated to the game, it indicates the following information (translated by us):
Bayonetta 3 is an action/adventure game, in which human characters travel through fantastic/fantasy locations, battling monsters called Homunculus, and an evil being known as “Singularity”. Players must travel to Thule Island, in order to prevent Singularity from destroying all the worlds.
Themes
The game contains fantastic elements like monsters and supernatural beings. There is even a brief sequence during which a (female) character rips out her heart to increase her powers.Violence
The violent aspect is due to hand-to-hand combat involving fantastic elements, the use of weapons, swords and others. During gameplay and cutscenes, blood can be seen on screen.online mode
The game features an online mode, through a global leaderboard, allowing players to share their scores for the different chapters of the game.
From a story point of view, there is a notion of “Multiverse”… But beware, this is simply a guess in relation to the various elements already revealed by Nintendo! Indeed, during the announcement of the release date, there is mention of Bayonetta(s) alternatives… There is also talk (in the recap of the ACB) of several worlds that are in danger of being destroyed. In fantasy/mythological literature, the island of Thule is generally considered to be “the limit / end of the world”, so it would be the ideal place for anyone who wants to open a door to “other worlds”… After Hell, So Bayonetta should travel the Multiverse? (decidedly very fashionable at the moment…)
We remind you that the game is expected for the October 28, 2022! Have you already pre-ordered it?
