The powerful witch Bayonetta, born from a forbidden union of the Lumen Sages and the Umbra Witches, travels from the distant past to the present. With her graceful fighting style and unparalleled magical abilities, she fascinates and terrifies her opponents in their final moments. Bayonetta is equipped with deadly weapons and skills, stunning her adversaries with her moves and brutal torture attacks. With the help of magic, she can access a power called Umbra Climax to summon demonic monsters and unleash powerful attacks.

You can choose between Classic and Touch play styles. The classic controls are typical of Bayonetta and will delight fans of the predecessor game as well as action lovers. The Touch controls, on the other hand, are suitable for those who are not yet familiar with action games or want to try a new kind of action game. You can easily control Bayonetta's movements, attacks, or dodges using the touchscreen of the Nintendo Switch.

Bayonetta's long-time friend, the Umbra Witch Jeanne, supports her with combined attacks to punish their foes. Now you can take the action with you anywhere and play whenever and wherever you want. You can team up with a friend—whether you're in the same room or in different countries—to fight hordes of enemies in local or online multiplayer mode in Witch Climax. A range of powerful characters is available to help you deliver a brutal beating to angels and demons. By scanning compatible amiibo (sold separately), you can instantly unlock various Nintendo-themed costumes for Bayonetta, as well as new weapons and much more.
