The Bayonetta 3 day one update is now live, bringing new features and improvements to the latest entry in the series by PlatinumGames.
The 1.1.0 update, which has gone live ahead of the game’s release tomorrow, October 28th, introduces improvements to the Naive Angel Mode, which can be activated immediately when starting the game for the first time.

Bayonetta 3 launches on Nintendo Switch on October 28th worldwide. Learn more about the game by checking out Nathan’s review.
Bayonetta 3 is the series’ best entry yet, offering an engaging universe-hopping story, bombastic cinematic moments, and refined action that’s both accessible and deeper than ever before. The game can feel slightly hemmed in on the Switch, but Platinum pummels every bit of possible performance out of the hardware. Whether you and Bayonetta have history or not, this is an engagement not to be missed.
