‘Bayonetta 2’ Gets New Playable Character In The Latest Trailer

Details on the highly anticipated Bayonetta 2 have been few and far between since E3 last year, but thanks to the latest Nintendo Direct, we got a chance to catch up with the witch’s latest action filled romp.

As expected, everything is continuing to look like it’s placed on a larger scale. Bigger enemies, bigger story, bigger attacks, bigger conflicts… Whoever said “less is more” didn’t get through to the developers at Platinum Games, and after seeing the game in action, it’s hard to argue otherwise. Joining Bayonetta this time around is a mysterious child who seems to have stolen Yugi’s Millennium Puzzle at some point. Acting as a partner to the titular character, the trailer confirms that he will be fully playable in some capacity. Don’t worry though, it looks like he can kick plenty of ass himself.

With a conflict between light and dark starting anew, a rival priest that matches Bayonetta’s attacks blow for blow and Bayo’s sister, Jean, seemingly in stasis, (because why not?) it’s looking more and more like the upcoming sequel will be a top reason to own a Wii U in the coming months.

Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer yourself and tell me it’s not. If that doesn’t convince you, check out our hands on impressions from E3 last year and prepare to get hyped!
