According to Reddit User _darth_solo, he has inside information that Platinum Games’ Bayonetta 3 will be coming out this Summer. It is not known where he has got his information from but his sources have apparently been confirmed by the Moderators of r/NintendoSwitch.
To be fair, with Bayonetta 1 & 2 being ported to the Switch and releasing in February, it is not farfetched to think that Bayonetta 3 would only be a few months away. I mean, why even port Bayonetta 1 & 2 at all if not to build up for the imminent release of Bayonetta 3?
Here is the statement from _darth_solo as seen on Reddit
“I cannot personally reveal my source, but I have it on good authority from a reliable source that Bayonetta 3 will be released this year, maybe this summer. It will not be released later than 2018 barring a disaster.
I have confirmed my sources with the mods, u/FlapSnapple gave me the go ahead for this, so they can vouch for it. I’m sorry but I can’t say much more other than watch out for the Nintendo Direct because Bayonetta 3 will be one of those placeholder games that Nintendo is preparing to release. This direct may be Nintendo’s E3 if what we’ve heard is true.“
