WHERE TO PLAY

The witch is back and more powerful than ever - Strut through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game! Bayonetta must face a mysterious man-made evil using her signature guns, time-slowing Witch Time ability, and demonic darlings. Shoot, stomp, and slam your way through multiple locations, meeting other wicked witches along the way.

Give ‘em hell in climactic combat - Show how you’re the baddest witch in any universe by mastering an infernal arsenal of weapons and abilities.

Grapple with your demons: Tap into the Umbra Witches’ naughtier side by channeling the power of demons in the heat of combat.
  Ride in to battle: Both in and out of combat, the new Demon Masquerade ability channels the demon linked to Bayonetta’s weapon to help her quickly traverse the environment.
  Choose your intensity: Whether you’re a decorated Umbra Witch or new to the coven, you can find your sweet spot among one of three difficulty settings. Optional, equippable accessories can make it easier for anyone to experience the spectacle.
