PlatinumGames Marks Bayonetta\

PlatinumGames is commemorating the 15th anniversary of the original Bayonetta with a year-long celebration, expressing gratitude to fans for their enduring support. The initial release, lauded for its innovative design and exhilarating gameplay, spawned sequels exclusively on Nintendo platforms.

The game's debut on October 29, 2009 (Japan) and January 2010 (globally) introduced players to Bayonetta, a formidable Umbra Witch wielding guns, dynamic martial arts, and magical hair to combat supernatural foes. Hideki Kamiya, renowned for Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe, helmed the project, delivering his signature stylish action.

Critical acclaim followed, cementing Bayonetta's status as a prominent female video game anti-hero. While Sega published the first title across multiple platforms, Nintendo secured publishing rights for the subsequent sequels, releasing them exclusively on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. A prequel, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, featuring a younger Bayonetta, launched on the Switch in 2023. The adult Bayonetta also made appearances as a playable character in recent Super Smash Bros. installments.

PlatinumGames recently announced a "Bayonetta 15th Anniversary Year" for 2025, promising special announcements and celebratory events. While specifics remain scarce, the developer encourages fans to follow their social media channels for updates.

Bayonetta's 15th Anniversary in 2025

Wayo Records has already released a limited-edition Bayonetta music box, featuring the Super Mirror design and playing "Theme Of Bayonetta - Mysterious Destiny" by Masami Ueda. PlatinumGames is also providing monthly Bayonetta-themed smartphone calendar wallpapers, with January's showcasing Bayonetta and Jeanne in kimonos under a full moon.

Even after 15 years, the original Bayonetta remains influential, refining stylish action gameplay pioneered by Devil May Cry, introducing innovations like Witch Time, and inspiring future PlatinumGames titles such as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Nier: Automata. Fans are eagerly anticipating further announcements throughout the anniversary year.
