Being Bad Never Felt So Good! Original Bayonetta Comes to Steam!
If Sega’s countdown tease a few days ago got you hyped for Bayonetta 3, then I’m sorry to burst your bubble. The countdown was actually for a release of the original Bayonetta on Steam, and while it’s not a new game, this is certainly the next best thing.
It’s one of the most critically acclaimed action games ever released, so it’s about damn time it made it to PC!
Whilst it’s not a full remaster, the Steam release features superior graphics to the original PS3 and Xbox 360 versions in addition to both English and Japanese voiceovers. If you purchase it before April 25, you’ll get the “Digital Deluxe Edition,” which includes a ton of extras including a digital art book, wallpapers, and more.
Developed by PlatinumGames and directed by Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya, Bayonetta was released to excellent reviews back in 2010, so all gamers should play this at least once.
From the Press Release:
Bayonetta is back! SEGA Europe Ltd. can reveal that PlatinumGames’ universally acclaimed action masterpiece is now available via Steam on PC. Experience the over-the-top stylish action in 60fps, at unlocked HD resolutions. For a limited time only, the Digital Deluxe Edition is available at no extra cost to all customers who purchase before Tuesday 25th April.
The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a 5-track soundtrack sampler and digital art book from the original Climax Edition, enhanced with even more concept art and exclusive wallpapers and avatars.
From PlatinumGames’ legendary director Hideki Kamiya, of Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry fame, SEGA brings one of the most universally acclaimed character action games of all time, Bayonetta, to PC. Bayonetta is the last survivor of an ancient witch clan who keep the balance between light, dark, and chaos. Entombed to protect herself – and the world as we know it – Bayonetta is discovered and revived after 500 years, sparking a chain of events with cataclysmic repercussions.
Thrust straight into battle, with only one clue to her past, Bayonetta must discover the truth and fight for the future. Her daunting conquest sees her face off against countless angelic enemies and giant foes in a game of 100% pure action.
“We are dedicated to bringing high-quality, best practice PC conversions of our back catalogue games to our fans, and Bayonetta was a great fit,” said John Clark, Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe. “Bayonetta is one of the most often requested PC conversions of our games, so finally being able to launch it on Steam is fantastic. There’s more to come!”
Bayonetta follows Typing of the Dead, Valkyria Chronicles, and the SEGA Mega Drive Collection, which SEGA has successfully converted for Steam. Keep up-to-date with all SEGA news on facebook.com/Sega and twitter.com/SEGA.
