Since its reveal back in 2017, updates on Bayonetta 3 have been few and far between, which has gotten fans rather anxious especially after its absence during the last Nintendo Direct. That being said, series creator Hideki Kamiya has taken umbrage at those speculating on its state of development.

In a recent Twitter post, the PlatinumGames co-founder expressed irritation at ‘reckless’ comments around the game’s progress. Here is a translation of his Tweet (courtesy of Kotaku) and the original Tweet itself:

欲しい情報が公開されなくてイライラしたり怒りが湧いたりする事はあるでしょう…
「早く情報出せ」
「何か見せろ」
こういうのは分かりますよ…
でも
「開発中止したんちゃうか」
「仲違いしたんだろ」
などの事実に基づかない負の妄言は迷惑な公害に他ならないんですよ…

I get why people say, ‘Hurry up and release info’ or ‘Show us something,’ but… Reckless remarks like ‘Has development stopped?’ or ‘I guess it’s been delayed’, etc. are nothing but annoying public waste.

We can only hope that development Bayonetta 3 is indeed progressing smoothly and, if anything, avoid spreading rumours and confusion in the meantime. We will report back if any details on this title are eventually revealed, so stay tuned.
