Bayonetta Creator Aspired to Extend the Series

Sure, here’s a reimagined version of the article with an emphasis on a more human and chaotic tone:

So, here’s a story for you. Hideki Kamiya, this guy everyone flicks their eyes toward when they mention Bayonetta, right? Yeah, he tossed around the idea of a whole new trilogy before he decided to say bye-bye to PlatinumGames. Like, he’s been a big deal in the third-person action game world. Think Resident Evil 2. Devil May Cry. Okami. Good stuff. But then, in 2006, he took off from Capcom and was like, “Let’s make something new,” and BAM, PlatinumGames was born. And Bayonetta was one of their first babies, with her hair magic and wild battles against supernatural baddies. You gotta love it.

And surprise surprise, Bayonetta killed it out there (not literally, well, kind of literally in the game, but you get me). It was mainstream enough to get two sequels, both Nintendo exclusives! Big stuff, y’know. Bayonetta even showed up in other games—like a cameo queen in The Wonderful 101 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Oh, speaking of new things – 2023 dropped Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. It’s a story throwback to baby witch Cereza learning her stuff.

Now back to our friend Kamiya. Apparently, more Bayonetta games could still happen, but he won’t be steering that ship. Left in 2023. There was this YouTube thing recently where he said, “Hey, I didn’t wanna wrap it all up with Bayonetta 3.” Which, news flash, could’ve been the start of a whole new saga. Like flipping the Bayonetta universe on its head, maybe even shifting away from everything fans are used to, gameplay-wise. That’s kind of wild, right?

Hideki’s spilled the beans about some other projects he’s been tinker-tinkering with, like Scalebound, which, fun fact, never saw daylight. Oh, and he still has this itch to revisit Devil May Cry and remake the first game. Could be good timing since there’s a Netflix animated series now.

In another twist, Kamiya’s diving into a sequel for Okami with Clovers Inc. A new crew, but leaning on seasoned developers from the original game. Anyway, the future of Bayonetta is still a foggy crystal ball without Kamiya onboard, as of now, there’s no peep about fresh games. He hinted about how all these games are kind of a tangled web of universes. His universes, really.

And that’s that. Isn’t life a kick?
