Oh Hideki Kamiya, you're such a joker. The Platinum Games developer teased to a follower on Twitter that a sequel to Bayonetta 2 would be arriving in a game magazine this week - shortly before fellow producer Atsushi Inaba had to come in and calm the world down by saying it was false information.Responding to a Tweet on when we may hear more about
Bayonetta 2, Kamiya replied (possibly with 'serious face') "This week... in a game magazine." Atsushi Inaba quickly jumped in to Tweet (via
Andriasang) "There is no such announcement!" Inaba added that Kamiya likes to joke a lot.
SEGA has published each of Platinum Games' titles with a great level of cult success.
MadWorld,
Infinite Space,
Bayonetta and
Vanquish were games published under an original agreement, but that agreement seemed to be stretched when it was confirmed that SEGA was publishing multiplayer brawler
Anarchy Reigns. The publisher has also indicated that it would like a sequel to
Bayonetta.
We would bet our bottom dollar (which is currently $1 right now, sitting proudly next to our
Mini Ninjas figurine) that SEGA is doing everything in its power to order a sequel to
Bayonetta, and that Platinum would have no problems making such a title. But, until something's announced, it's not happening is it? Randy Pitchford told us so.
