Kaser Focus: What’s up, witches?

Anyone who knows me even in passing knows what I’m most excited about this week. Bayonetta 3 is, at long last, releasing in October. Just a few days before Halloween, in fact. For those of you who somehow haven’t picked up on it already, Bayonetta is my favorite game, and I’ve been waiting what feels like a lifetime for the third installment. So my fall is going to include Bayonetta 3, Slime Rancher 2, A Plague Tale: Requiem — I’m not going to have a dull moment. I’d better not.

I saw some users on Twitter speculating on why Nintendo didn’t reveal this news in a Direct. I can answer that: First, Bayonetta doesn’t need to share space with anyone; and second, her gameplay does not need to be explained or narrated. Bayonetta’s style speaks for itself, thank you very much. I could speculate for days (no exaggeration) about the potential story implications of multiple Bayonettas, who the heck Viola is and whether the game is intended to be a crossover with Astral Chain … but I’ll save that for my personal blog.
