- Some bad news for SEGA fans everywhere - SPOnG has heard word that Bayonetta 2 has been cancelled, following the publisher's ongoing restructure.
A source familiar with the situation has told SPOnG that progress on the apparent Platinum Games sequel was halted. The game was to include a new character, in the form of a member of the US military.
While it was not possible to ascertain from our source if Bayonetta 2 had begun development internally, the detail of a potential new character would suggest that plans were at least in a pre-production design stage.
SEGA announced a dramatic restructuring of its Western consumer business last month, following a dismal performance in the last fiscal year. Redundancies hit both the European and American offices, and a number of titles were said to be cancelled internally.
It was feared that Platinum Games' projects - which have been critically well-received but have had little success commercially - would be at risk, with a rumoured sequel to Bayonetta at the top of such a list. The original game was released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in January 2010, to critical acclaim.
SPOnG has asked SEGA about the situation, to the response, "No comment." http://spong.com/article/26926/Rumour-Bayonetta-2-Has-Been-Cancelled |

| I hope the sequel is still going to be made. The first game was one of the best hack n' slash games I'd ever played and easily one of the top 5 games of 2010. | |

- Here at Addict of Fiction we love two things, comics and boobs. So when the rumour of Bayonetta 2 getting cancelled hit us, we needed to know – is it true?
Now through a lot of pain I managed to get one of my friends that works at SEGA to give me a bit of inside knowledge. Here’s what he had to say:
“SEGA is going through a lot right now, I mean the whole world is basically sailing down the shitter. I worked on the original Bayonetta, and I would love to see a sequel, but we haven’t even announced Bayonetta 2 yet.
Sadly, I can’t tell you anything more than that.” http://addictoffiction.com/we-havent-announced-bayonetta-2-yet | |
