PlatinumGames’ Bayonetta franchise turns fifteen this year, with the first game launching worldwide in January 2010. To celebrate the occasion, the developer has announced the “Bayonetta 15th Anniversary Year” – a year-long celebration of the franchise.
Alongside freebies like phone wallpapers monthly, there’s a limited edition music box produced by Wayo Records. The latter plays the theme “Mysterious Destiny” by Masami Ueda and retails for €220.00. However, PlatinumGames’ tweet revealed that it has “a few things in store to celebrate this milestone”, with the official blog also teasing “various” planned announcements.
Whether there are any game-related announcements remains to be seen, so stay tuned for updates. The last title in the franchise was Bayonetta 3 in October 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. It features a new antagonist, Singularity, whom Bayonetta traverses multiple universes to fight. A new character, Viola, joins the fray with her own unique moves and abilities.
