Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor recently took to Twitter to release a series of videos claiming she was offered an “insulting” price of $4000 to reprise her role as the titular character in the upcoming action-adventure game Bayonetta 3. The video criticizes PlatinumGames and Nintendo and addresses her unfair treatment. In the same video, Taylor asks fans to boycott the game and instead use the money they would have otherwise spent on the game to donate to charity. PlatinumGames recently confirmed that Hellena Taylor was replaced by prominent actress Jennifer Hale due to her “schedule.”Bayonetta 3 will launch on October 28 for Nintendo Switch.
Details on the upcoming game can be seen below:
Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.
Get Ready for a Devilishly Good Time
Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than-life battles where you directly control the action.
A Bounty of Bayonettas
Fight your way through the streets of Tokyo, the mountains of China, and many other locales! Along the way you’ll meet a virtual coven of Bayonettas, each more fabulous than the last. You’ll also slash and slay as Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and a capricious companion, the demon Cheshire. Find out what fate awaits Bayonetta, and if this arcane alliance can really save reality!
