Bayonetta 3 still in development.

I hope you are joking.
Even if it was that easy (which it isn't), Bayonetta 2 was similar to Bayonetta 1 in many regards (the kind of sequel you are talking about) so they've hinted before that with Bayonetta 3 they want to change and evolve the series a lot more.
That said, I actually expected to see Bayonetta 3 in this direct, so I'm curious to know what's happening behind the scenes as well. Hopefully everything is okay and they are just making this as crazy as possible so they need more time.
Were they even in danger? There was a lot of speculation about the cancellation of Scalebound being bad for the company, but zero facts, from what I remember.
Not joking. Something is going wrong at Platinum Games at the moment. It's not the only project they seem to struggle with.
Yeah :(
They were also dropped from Granblue Relink which doesn't bode well for them.
But that's what they did for Animal Crossing and it's still on track to come out this year
In before a Kamiya video where it sounds like they've cancelled development, only to announce that they are taking their sweet time.
I'm not surprised that some people in this thread are taking their acknowledgement of Bayo 3 still being in development as some sort of weird slight, but in a world where they said nothing this thread would've been titled "So is Bayonetta 3 cancelled??".
Literally just please have some patience. It's Nintendo. It's Platinum. They'll show the game when it looks good, and we'll all think it looks great.

I they don't show a trailer for the game every nintendo direct then it's cancelled. That's how it works right?
Take all the time you need. Weird that they felt the need to say anything at all, though.
Opinions and all that, but this is madness to me.

If they take the time to make it as balanced as Bayo 1 was while retaining the improved feel from Bayo 2, then by all means take all the time you need.
"Might slip from this year?"
When did anyone say B3 was a 2019 game? The smart money has always been on 2020.
IIRC it was labeled in several Nintendo financial reports as "2019".
To prevent the inevitable "Is Bayo 3 IN TROUBLE?!" panic thread that would've popped up here.
No, I think both Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 never had date.
Wait. Please explain to me what's wrong outside of the Scalebound thing. They just announced Astral Chain and it looks amazing. I'm legitimately curious as to what could be "going wrong" at Platinum. Seems like they're actually making a lot of games at the moment, but that's good, right? Maybe?
Scalebound was the first bigger game that went south. They also worked on that Granblue Fantasy game which looked fantastic for a long time but - like I read on Era - they now got pulled from the project. They announced Bablyon but without any info besides a teaser. Same for Bayonetta 3. And now they are also working on Astral Chain which IMHO does not look amazing. It just feels like they work on too many projects at once and spread their resources too thin. A lot of their last projects like Transformers, Turtles and Legend of Korra are also not that great. I wasn't even a big fan of Nier Automata to be honest. It's a good game, but it lacks what made the first game so good and unique. But that is an unpopular opinion and very subjective, I know.
Scalebound wasn't the only project Microsoft canned. We have no idea what went down with Granblue outside of their contract going up. Bayonetta 3 was only announced a year and several months from now as having entered development, and is going through development like any other ordinary game does.
Your subjective opinion on how NieR Automata turned out and how Astral Chain is looking has really no bearing on how "well" Platinum are doing right now.
