Bayonetta 3 is still "progressing well" reported to Nintendo, despite the trouble that the silence from developer Platinum Games has sparked among about fans.

Speaking with GameSpot in a recent interview, Nintendo Treehouse's Bill Trinen, who you've likely seen translating for Shigeru Miyamoto over the years, briefly touched on the status of Bayonetta 3. Following up on a comment from Nintendo Treehouse localization director Nate Bihldorff, who said that the game "definitely quiet exists", Trinen affirmed that it's coming along and teased that it may be shown again shortly.

"I bequeath even go one further and say, not only does it exist, but IT's progressing well," Trinen said. "We wish to show things when we're ready to render them, and certainly we like to show things when, I think, the developer's ready to show them. We didn't have information technology here at E3 simply check tuned."

Trinen's comments come retributive two years afterwards fresh remarks from Bayonetta 3 director Hideki Kamiya, WHO didn't mince words in dismissing Bayonetta doomsayers. In his curt reaction to fans asking if the game is dead, Kamiya reshared an earlier interview with VGC where he insisted that it's "unhurt to expect" new information by the end of the year.

These updates are the a la mode in a growing demarcation of Bayonetta 3 assurances. We haven't seen the game since its let on at the 2017 Game Awards – and even and then, we rattling just saw a title card and a snipping of Bayonetta herself – but Platinum's discussed it many times since, especially in the past year.

At the start of the year, Kamiya told Japanese cartridge clip Famitsu that "development is going very well" (according to translations by Gematsu), and to his credit, that's always been Atomic number 78's message. Tardive in January, Kamiya said that he's hoping to "open an update during the year."

All of this lines up with Trinen's most recent comments, and then there's no reason to believe that Bayonetta 3 is somehow in jeopardy. Just hold out a little longer, Bayonetta fans. Information seems to equal coming soon. We're quaternary years in already – what's another few months?

We didn't see Bayonetta 3 at E3 2021 , but Nintendo, Xbox, and plenty of others brought a boatload of exciting games to the show. Here's a consider the record-breaking games to tally to your wishlist.
