'Bayonetta 3' takes avid gamers on a whirlwind story, bringing in new characters and gameplay mechanics. But the ending is confusing, so let's break it down.
Spoiler alert: This article incorporates spoilers for Bayonetta 3.
After 8 years, Bayonetta enthusiasts finally have the subsequent sport in the fashionable franchise. Bayonetta 3, which used to be released on Oct. 28, has taken avid gamers on a whole new adventure with new gameplay mechanics and a stunning storyline to accompany it.
But for many who have already controlled to make it to the game's ending (which must be quite simple, since the primary storyline is simplest about 15 hours long), it's a little complicated — particularly in case you are now not a seasoned fan. So let's break down some of the maximum complicated parts of the ending of Bayonetta 3.
'Bayonetta 3' ending, defined: Who is Viola? Will she be the series's next protagonist?
Viola is a playable personality who involves Bayonetta's dimension to warn her of the Singularity, who claimed the life of her dimension's Bayonetta. She proves her claims of being an Umbra Witch from every other size to our protagonist, Jeanne, Enzo, and Rodin the use of Witch Time.
If you're no longer taking part in the game with subtitles, you probably missed the second where Viola almost referred to as Bayonetta "mum" — which, on my own, is a useless giveaway to their familiar dating.
Though she catches herself, there are various hints scattered right through the recreation that insinuate Viola is the daughter of Bayonetta and Luka.
At the finish of the recreation, Viola confesses her true connection to the Umbra Witch, revealing herself as Bayonetta's daughter from the different dimension. But as the sport comes to an in depth, it turns out that Viola is also set as much as turn into the franchise's future protagonist (even though that's a long way from confirmed).
So is Bayonetta in reality lifeless?
The solution to this is a bit of extra complicated than it would possibly appear. As Bayonetta and Viola deal the ultimate blows to Singularity, the different variations of Bayonetta that it had in the past defeated are launched — together with the model from the first Bayonetta game.
This Bayonetta approaches Cereza and says, "You didn't cry while I was gone, did you?" as a callback to her unique words to the crying younger Cereza.
This confirms the theory that the Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3 is in reality Cereza, the little girl in the franchise's first sport — which additionally confirms that Bayonetta isn't the personality's first title but more their family name, which appears to be earned as they ascend and grow to be Umbra Witches.
Unfortunately, despite the blended energy of the multiverse of Bayonettas coming together, this doesn't forestall Cereza's soul from being dragged out of her frame, and we see her and Luka dragged down to Hell together.
In the post-credits scene, Viola then takes on the darkish version of Bayonetta, which turns out to be her ultimate lesson from her mother, who tells her that she can be given a "new name" for all of the progress she's made.
Later, Viola is talking with Rodin in his bar when he calls her "Bayonetta," suggesting she's in any case advanced to take on the family title — and thus implying she could also be seen as a future protagonist in the series.
While we watched Luka and Cereza get dragged down to Hell, it's implied that the legacy of Bayonetta will continue to exist with Viola. So sure, it turns out Cereza is dead (for now) — however "Bayonetta" is a ways from finished.
There's still no information on if Platinum Games will create a Bayonetta 4, even though if it occurs, we're more likely to see some other model of Bayonetta come to fruition in it.
Bayonetta 3 is now available completely for the Nintendo Switch.
