After being announced back in The Games Awards in 2017, "Bayonetta 3" is now confirmed to arrive for the Nintendo Switch. Its recently uploaded full gameplay trailer introduced the thrill that is this new edition of the Bayonetta series. The said gameplay demo available on YouTube unveiled more glimpses of Bayonetta's Witch Time, Demon Masquerade, and auto-attack combos, as well as other unique abilities.

According to Engadget, Bayonetta can channel the abilities of various animals, such as a moth, spider, and scorpion, using the Demon Masquerade feature. The heroine conveniently transforms into the animals' essence as she wishes while in battle. Her moth form looks very magnificent with its neon-colored wings and fluttering mechanism.

Using these abilities, Bayonetta will travel across a ruined landscape filled with an army of Homonculi and demons. The Homonculi are man-made bioweapons that can pose a considerable threat on the battlefield.
