Expect Bayonetta 2 “when the time is right”

Despite the crazy loading screens and the lack of quality in comparison to the Xbox 360 version of the game and PS3 version, Bayonetta released with a lot of positive reviews and a lot of gamers clamoring for more. After all, it was a female hack ‘n slash title that just felt good to kick some serious ass within. However, those of you awaiting the announcement of a sequel should know that one is probably in the pipeline, but only “when the time is right” will SEGA and Platinum Games announce it. After all, they’re currently busy with the upcoming release of Vanquish, right?

Speaking on Twitter, Hideki Kamiya, Co-Founder of Platinum Games replied to fans of the title with words of encouragement about a sequel.

“Will there be a Bayonetta 2?” a fan asked the Bayonetta and Devil May Cry director on Twitter last month. “I believe so,” he replied.

“She’ll be back if you believe so,” he said to another follower.

This prompted Eurogamer to reach out to the other founding father of PG — Atsushi Inaba.

“There is no concrete plan or schedule that we can talk about,” Inaba told Eurogamer. “It’s not like Kamiya said, ‘Okay, we’re going to make this. But Bayonetta is definitely a special IP for us. We loved creating that game. We think it was a really good game.

“We would love to make a sequel to it when the time is right. That’s all we can say.”

I consider this really good news and hope that if PG does decide to create a sequel, that they also decide to put the proper development time into the PlayStation 3 version so that all gamers can enjoy an equal experience overall.
