Blog:It's been three years since "Bayonetta 3" was announced.

Three years ago, Bayonetta 3 was announced at the Game Awards in 2017 with an awesome trailer, and there hasn't been anymore updates on the game since then, other than Hideki Kamiya constently saying "the development is going smoothly". It's been missing out on every single convention, including a Nintendo Direct, since the Game Awards in 2017.

This is starting to lead me to believe that the development is actually going really bad, for whatever reason, and Kamiya has been saying otherwise each time he's asked about the game's development, almost as if he's trying to dodge anymore questions regarding the game in its current situation. I know they're trying to take as much time as they can with Bayonetta 3, but it's been 3 years, so I think it's time we heard more about it, maybe at this year's Game Awards, which is highly unlikely given how poorly the development is likely going, but still, anything can happen (UPDATE: it skipped the Game Awards the third year in a row).

Right now, Bayonetta 3 is one of the 4 Nintendo Switch games that seem to be stuck in development hell, the other three being Shin Megami Tensei V, Metroid Prime 4, and the Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel.

I don't mean to make this blog sound like a rant; I'm just worried that things might not actually be going very well for the game.
