Nintendo has officially announced PlatinumGames’ Bayonetta 3 is in development and that the previous franchise entries are coming to the Nintendo Switch next year.

During this year’s Video Game Awards, Nintendo President and COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, has made several surprise announcements, revealing that Bayonetta 3 is currently in development exclusively for the Nintendo Switch and that both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 will be getting the Switch treatment.

A very short teaser trailer has been made available, showing off the Umbra Witch Bayonetta fighting and struggling against a mysterious entity enveloped in a shroud of magical energy. You can view the teaser trailer below, coupled with a few screenshots.

In addition to Bayonetta 3’s reveal, Reggie Fils-Aime has also announced the original Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 will be coming to the company’s newest console on February 16th, 2018 in North America and Europe, and February 17th in Japan. PlatinumGames has revealed Bayonetta 2 will come with several new features which include local wireless co-op, Amiibo support, and video capture support.
