Bayonetta is packing some new attacks and a new control scheme in the much-awaited, Wii U sequel.
Several details emerged during today’s Nintendo Direct conference regarding PlatinumGames’ upcoming Wii U title, Bayonetta 2.
In addition to a new, shorter hairdo, Bayonetta will have several new moves. Most notable of which is her new ability to summon monsters called the Umbra Climax. Likewise, Bayonetta will have an ally named Jeanne that will assist her by using combination attacks.
Bayonetta 2 will also give players the option to choose between two different play styles, Normal and Touch. Normal mode is the same control scheme present in the previous game. Touch mode, however, is more suited for new players, and will allow them to more easily control Bayonetta’s movement and attacks. Additionally, players have the option to play the game entirely on the Wii U GamePad
Bayonetta 2 is scheduled for a 2014 release. No specific date has been announced.
