I was not expecting this. I don’t follow Bayonetta but I remember hearing middling initial hype because of the studio. I guess that was more of a core concern and Bayonetta is popular in Japan?
It almost seems weird to think that Bayonetta is ending with the 2nd title.
SEGA’s been going on a cross-media spree, when you couple this with Sonic Boom, Hero Bank and 575 anime it seems they’re aiming to have cross-media promotion for titles getting a major release.
