News: A new adventure in the popular Bayonetta is now available to be played anywhere thanks to Nintendo’s portable platform.

Bayonetta 3, the latest installment in the popular Bayonetta franchise, is now available on the Nintendo Switch. With the help of an ensemble of new and returning characters, the Umbra Witch must use her signature weapons and magic arts to take on a new threat across numerous locations.

Luckily, Bayonetta is not alone in her battles against existential danger as she teams up with both familiar faces and a bounty of Bayonettas to help her save the world. From the streets of Tokyo to the mountains of China, the unstoppable Umbra Witch will have to use an arsenal of demonic abilities to defeat her enemies in larger-than-life battles around the world.

As in previous Bayonetta games, players will guide the legendary witch through various levels while fighting waves of enemies and bosses along the way by combining melee and gunplay attacks.

This time, players will also be able to take control of a whole new character named Viola. As a witch-in-training, Viola travels through the Multiverse to take on an important role given to her. Along with using her sword, she is accompanied by a capricious feline demon companion named Cheshire who can be summoned during combat.

While playing you can freely alternate between Casual, Standard, and Expert difficulty modes at any time. A training mode is also available, letting players practice their skills and attacks outside of the story mode.

Bayonetta 3 is available now for $59.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop and physically at select retail stores. Take a look at the launch trailer and then tell us what you think. Will you be playing Bayonetta 3?
