“We are developing Bayonetta 3, as we did Bayonetta 2, with money we received from Nintendo," said the outspoken director in a tweet.
Per Kamiya, if you want to try the new game away from its formal Nintendo home, you're going to have to tell the publisher itself. That has upset some gamers, who would very much like to play the game on their shiny new PS5 or Xbox Series X/S consoles. That same exclusivity applies to the upcoming Bayonetta 3, too.

Since then, however, Nintendo has published the series and as such both Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3 have been exclusive to Nintendo platforms. The first Bayonetta game, when it launched back in 2009, was multiplatform: arriving on PlayStation and Xbox consoles (and later coming to PC). Finally the game was released last week, so in five years, we were able to make Bayonetta 2 available to the public.If you want Bayonetta 3 to come to PlayStation, Xbox or PC – rather than just Nintendo Switch – PlatinumGames' executive director Hideki Kamiya wants you to let Nintendo know. Nintendo came in and lent a hand and we were able to restart the development we so desired. Finally, Bayonetta 2 was about to get terminated completely, when… So we offered it to various publishers, but as it is a big title, we couldn’t find a partner company. Without funding we didn’t have the possibility to continue development, but we wanted to get this partially developed Bayonetta 2 available to the public one way or another. When development had progressed to a certain degree, in SEGA’s situation it turned into “This isn’t a good plan”, so development halted temporarily. Later it was decided to also develop the sequel, so we started working on Bayonetta 2. I think I have discussed this many times before but here goes… First of all, we are developers and receive support from publishers by making games that they request or suggest.Īs for Bayonetta, we developed the game after signing a deal with SEGA. Speaking about the deal, Kamiya notes that if you want to see it on other platforms, “ask Nintendo” - implying that there’s no chance, and to “try asking for Mario and Zelda too.” Check out the full quote below. Of course, producer Hideki Kamiya is there to shut those hopes and dreams down. “Will we get it one day on other platforms,” people ask constantly, hoping that one day it will see a release outside of Wii U. As we draw closer to the international release date for Bayonetta 2, a lot of people continue to bring up the exclusivity deal.
