Ina recent interviewwith PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya, the director reassured fans thatBayonetta 3was not cancelled. After being asked by the interviewer “Finally, Kamiya-san, are you bored of being asked about whereBayonetta 3is yet?” Kamiya replied:
“I’m on Twitter so I see a lot of comments every day. I’m happy that there’s still anticipation for the title, but one thing I would like to address is the trend I’m seeing which is people who are starting to ask if the game has been cancelled. I want you guys to take any concerns you have like that and throw them out the window immediately because we’re still hard at work on it and it hasn’t been cancelled by any means. Please look forward to it!”
Hopefully Kamiya’s reassurances can sate fans highly anticipatingBayonetta 3. But considering the quality of the previous entries, I can understand the impatience.
