Yeah, Kamiya said something not that long ago that implied Bayonetta 3 was a rather long way off. It's definitely not coming out this year.
My guess is the announcement teaser was shortly after they penned the deal and that the game only started full development sometime in 2018. Add in Covid and I'm not surprised that it's big coming out party still hasn't happened yet.
A bit of both maybe.
A lot of Japanese devs were hit hard by covid.
The reveal was tied to B1+2 on Switch. Without that re-release, I don't think they would have talked about it then.
He's probably just tired of saying "development is going well" over and over since saying anything more is likely entirely up to Nintendo.
This game was announced way to early.
Wonder if they were pressured into it by Nintendo or higher ups.
That or they are having significant development issues.
Astral chain was announced and released within 4 months.
We still dont know anything about Babylon's Fall, Bayo 3 or their recent announced project GG
Could also be maybe they are stretching themselves out too thin. I never thought of Platinum as a big company, unless someone can prove me otherwise.

They can't talk about it until Nintendo says so. I'm sure it's driving them crazy! :D
I'm ready for the next round of AAA Nintendo titles on the Switch.
Breadth of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 were supposed to be their next big hitters… I really hoped we'd get like 1 more round of huge games before the Super Switch, but it doesn't sound like we're going to.

Gotta love when companies throw a logo out there to have something, anything.
Like TES6, they needed something positive so they made a logo before anyone scribbled the first design draft for that thing.

I still think that Nintendo will shadowdrop a trailer of Bayo 3 with a 2 month release date. I know that Nintendo fans and people make Bayonetta bigger than she is, but she is way more smaller than a Kirby game in terms of sales.
Facts lol
edit: Anyone know where Bayo 3's previous director Hashimoto ended up at?
I miss the days when I didn't follow much gaming news. I remember hearing about The Last of Us for the first time the day it launched. What a great surprise that was.
And to piggyback back on that question, do we know who is directing Bayo 3?
Pretty normal in the Vidya game space to announce things like how long did it take for FF7Make to come out lol 5 years?
I'm guessing Breadth of the Wild 2 will be the Super Switch launch title… then who know what else we'll get after that. Odyssey 2 when? Metroid is years out. Maybe something new/original IP that has the same scale as a Metroid, Mario or Zelda game? Mario Kart 9? Pikmin 4?
Their library of Wii U games is drying up so we need to start to see something new/original and higher frequency of releases.
