Eh, bit cliché. Maybe same story but with changes here and there to allow opportunities for more stories. Such as what if the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages didn't die out? The Clan Wars may still happen and Bayonetta still slept in the coffin, but when she awoke, she found the clans have changed throughout the years. Such as the Lumen Sages becoming the Ithavoll Group.

That could work, but both PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya are already busy on other projects so don't expect anything soon.

Actually Stellar Blade director, Kim Hyung-tae, said he would love to work on Bayonetta if given the chance to the point he's saying “If PlatinumGames would make a desk for me, I’d come every day” but "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin" is PlatinumGames' priority right now.

The masterpiece arcade game "Out Run" gets a massive power-up with the hack "Out Run Gumball Edition"!!



Quote
This hack ROM lets you access a variety of setting menus by pressing the accelerator (button) while holding down the start button.

From the menu, you can select options like "15 Stage Mode" to run through all 15 courses, or a mode where the course order, left/right mirroring, and even the ending are randomized.

On top of that, tons of settings have been added, including switching between Japanese and World version maps, the initial prototype version of Stage 1, changes to time limits and enemy car difficulty, ON/OFF for collision detection, "Ramming" to knock other cars out of the way, top speeds of 293/352 km/h, tire grip adjustments, 11 body colors for the car, sound tests, and more.

That's understandable.

Plus, they could go far as making a successor series to Bayonetta, like, same concept but entirely new. But that;s always a risky root given it mean convincing Bayonetta's fans to come over, or appeal to new fans altogether.

Risky indeed. Also to be Bayonetta fans, now they got to have Nintendo Switch console. Three of her four games are still locked there.

That is annoying and unfair to Bayonetta fans.

But do you think Bayonetta should have a reboot or replaced?

Not now. If PlatinumGames aren't ready for a new one then I don't think they got to release one just because.

That's true. And it's not like I'm that much a fan of Bayonetta. if anything, I always found her anatomy a bit off.

That's actually on purpose and one of unique thing about her that makes her stand out / memorable. Her exaggerated proportions!



Unlike many female action protagonists with frail or slender limbs, Bayonetta was given elongated legs and arms.
This gives her a striking, powerful silhouette that remains readable and dynamic during fast-paced combat.
