Adventure Puzzle Game Prequels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Bayonetta Origins is a Prequel to the Popular Bayonetta Franchise

— March 10, 2023 — Tech
'Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon' is an upcoming prequel to the Bayonetta trilogy of action role-playing games. Bayonetta Origins takes a different approach to gameplay, artstyle, and story, with focus on slower exploration and puzzle-based gameplay, rather than the high-octane combat and over-the-top visuals present in the standard trilogy. Additionally, this game features chibi-like artistic visuals with emphasis on environment design and uniquely-drawn character models, as opposed to animated photorealism associated with the franchise.

Bayonetta Origins is in development by Platinum Games, meaning it is developed by the same studio responsible for the Bayonetta trilogy. This means that, while the game is a spin-off, it will still be faithful to the overall vision and idea of Bayonetta.

Platinum Games and Nintendo have launched a demo for the game that allows players to enjoy the first two chapters of the game in advance.
