PlatinumGames Wants to Return to Bayonetta

Atsushi Inaba said PlatinumGames wants to further develop Bayonetta and expand her world, but he would not confirm a new entry.

  • PlatinumGames CEO Atsushi Inaba confirmed during a Tokyo Game Show interview that the studio remains committed to expanding the Bayonetta franchise, though he declined to provide specifics, telling fans to "wait and see."
  • Series creator Hideki Kamiya left Platinum in October 2023, envisioning Bayonetta as a nine-part saga he may now take "to the grave," while Bayonetta 3 director Yusuke Miyata has also since departed the Osaka-based studio.
  • Shift-Up CEO Kim Hyung-tae called the series "an indispensable work in my life" while designing Bayonetta-themed costumes for a crossover arriving on Nintendo Switch this November, co-owned by Sega and Nintendo.
  • Any potential Bayonetta return faces production hurdles, including the 2024 death of Japanese voice actress Atsuko Tanaka, and Platinum leadership acknowledged that simply creating another game is no longer straightforward.
  • Platinum remains focused on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin with Paramount, though the $110 billion merger forming Skydance between Warner Bros and Paramount may impact future titles.
