Replace 1.2.0 to the rescue

Simply this previous week, Platinum launched the primary main post-launch replace for Bayonetta 3, and it was a doozy. Not solely did it deal with some long-running issues from the group for a number of encounters (and Viola’s moveset), however it additionally immediately impacted a very low key facet of the sport: the playable teaser for the upcoming launch Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Misplaced Demon.

Right here’s a fast reminder of what that replace really modified:

Recreation Modes

• Circumstances for acquiring the “Tricolored Keys” wanted to unseal the “Outdated Image E book” have been made simpler.
• “Tricolored Keys” can be routinely obtainable on the chapter choose display screen as soon as it turns into attainable to entry the “Gates of Hell”.

• Even when the participant already has entry to the Gates of Hell, or has already obtained one or two keys, they may routinely get hold of the remaining keys when going to the chapter choose display screen after making use of the replace.

Accessing the Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Misplaced Demon demo is far simpler in 2023

Because the Nintendo of Europe Twitter account identified this weekend, after getting the brand new replace (1.2.0) put in, you may simply purchase the Outdated Image E book from the Gates of Hell store: no keys or added steps wanted! Previous to the replace, after shopping for the e-book, you wanted to find three hidden keys unfold throughout a number of chapters of the sport (Chapter 1, 4, and 13).

This takes me again to the bygone period the place demos had been king, and typically had been promoting factors all on their very own. Whereas the Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Misplaced Demon itself may be very temporary, it’s cool to see extra free unlockables in video games, sans DLC. The motion style is the right host for it.
