In an odd bit of a surprise announcement, a new Bayonetta may be arriving sooner than we think — just not in the way we think. Announced during TGS this week was a new Anime film based on the video game series, titled Bayonetta: Bloody Fate. From what we can gather of the trailer, the Gonzo-produced film stars the popular heroine as she fights giants and leaps across strange environments, ultimately leading everyone she faces to a bloody fate. Yeah, your guess really is as good as ours since the (incredibly slow) website for the film has minimal information at the moment and the trailer isn’t much more than a sizzle reel.
There had been rumors flying around of a Bayonetta adaptation as long ago as TGS 2011, to coincide with a new game. Well, we know the game is coming to Wii U next year some time, but the film doesn’t seem to want to wait. With a current launch date of 23 November (in Japan) we’re hoping this could tide us over until the actual game arrives in our greedy hands.
