The story, simply explained

What is it?

Fast, flashy action games starring a confident witch.

What is the story about?

Bayonetta, the last of the Umbra Witches, battles angels and demons while uncovering her past.

Who are the main characters?

Bayonetta (Cereza), Jeanne, Luka and Viola.

Why play it?

Some of the best action combat around, with a sense of humour.

Is the story connected?

Yes. 1, 2 and 3 continue one story; Origins is a prequel with a different style.

How many games should I play?

Bayonetta 1 to 3 in order. Origins any time.

Choose your playing order

Release order. Origins is very different in style — play it whenever you like.

Story order or beginner order — what's the difference?

Story order lists games by when their events happen inside the story. Beginner order is the order we recommend playing them, which is often closer to release order because later games are written assuming you played earlier ones. Playing in story order can spoil twists or start you on an older, harder game.

Gear for the journey

Storage, cases, controllers and headsets that suit long story games.
