exclusive Bayonetta 3 could come to other platforms within the future, but the choice ultimately lies with Nintendo.
Developer PlatinumGames’ executive Hideki Kamiya has told fans who want to ascertain the Umbra Witch return to other platforms to let Nintendo know, as it’s out of PlatinumGames’ control.
In a tweet (thanks, VG247), Kamiya-san said: “We are developing Bayonetta 3, as we did Bayonetta 2, with money we received from Nintendo. Since we’re only developing, Nintendo has total say regarding the merchandise .”
So how likely is it that Bayonetta 3 will come to PlayStation or Xbox consoles within the future? Well, it’s not impossible, but it does sound extremely unlikely consistent with Kamiya-san.
It seems the probability of Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3 getting ported to the PS4 and Xbox isn’t zero,” said Kamiya-san, which admittedly sounds rather promising. However, Kamiya-san goes on to say: “By the [same logic], the likelihood that Mario and Zelda [will come to other platforms] isn’t zero.”
While the probabilities of seeing Mario and Zelda on Sony or Microsoft’s machines is never impossible, it doesn’t take a soothsayer to predict that we won’t see that happen. Still, Kamiya-san has a minimum of left the door for Bayonetta 3 on different platforms ever slightly ajar.
Even though Bayonetta 3 may be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, it might be great to ascertain the sadistic enchantress Bayonetta return to the likes of PS5 and Xbox Series X within the future. After all, the primary game within the trilogy began life as an Xbox 360 exclusive and was later ported to PS3, PC, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.
Bayonetta 2 then became a Wii U and Nintendo Switch exclusive, as Nintendo funded the game’s development which has kept it off other platforms. Bayonetta 3 is that the same scenario, which suggests if you would like to play it, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch
PlatinumGames did previously port the Wii U exclusive The Wonderful 101 to PS4 and PC but acquired funding via a Kickstarter campaign. the probabilities are slim, then, but we’re willing to stay the religion .
