Her doll even makes an appearance at the end of the trailer. Her dancing in the trailer is also more adorable than the seductive moves seen in previous games. TPKePl4CPZ- Suzi Hunter September 24, 2021īayonetta’s new look resembles Cereza not just in hairstyle, but in outfit as well (which, yes, is also her hair). No matter what happens, I think there'll be two Bayos, which is why this one has a new voice. This is teenage Cereza after Bayo1, right? Not the Bayonetta we play as in 1/2, right? My theory is that we're playing as Cereza in the alt timeline we put her back in at the end of 1. Just know that this makes sense given the timey-wimey bollocks that have already occured in the Bayonetta lore. Also, the conclusion of the second game involved Bayonetta resetting the game’s timeline after defeating Aesir with the assistance of a younger version of her father, Baldur, who she had defeated in the first game, until a younger version of him was flung into the future of Bayonetta 2 and…listen, Bayonetta’s plot is really convoluted. Suzi posited that this is Cereza all grown up, which would make sense given the first game saw Bayonetta meeting the alternate-timeline version of herself as a child. This time around, she has long, bundled braids that resemble Cereza’s. In the past, Bayonetta has rocked the beehive in Bayonetta and the pixie cut in Bayonetta 2. The second piece of evidence that supports this theory is the hairstyle Bayonetta is rocking in the new trailer. This led YouTuber Suzi Hunter to theorise that Taylor might still be in the game, because if she weren’t involved in some way, she could have simply said so. When pressed further, Taylor told another fan that she was not at liberty to say whether she would be reprising the role because she was bound by a confidentiality agreement. When a fan tweeted at Taylor saying they can’t imagine Bayonetta without her amazing voice, Taylor responded saying, “Well you might have to.” The first piece of evidence supporting this theory came before the Direct trailer even dropped, when Bayonetta’s voice actress, Hellena Taylor, hinted at the character being recast. It is Cereza, but that person has her doll! #Bayonetta3 #NintendoDirect /OZtoSFprWi- Apes September 23, 2021 This led me and many others to storm Twitter and Reddit voicing our belief that this Bayonetta is not the one we’re familiar with, but rather Cereza, the time-displaced child version of Bayonetta from the first game. It’s subtle, but there’s something different - perhaps younger-sounding - about Bayonetta here.
She still sounds sultry and oozes as much sex appeal as a British accent can, but a good Bayonetta fan can discern the genuine article. But eventually, Bayonetta spoke, and while in many ways it’s the iconic voice we know, something sounded a bit off about it. I nearly did a cartwheel out of my seat when I heard the trailer’s evocative witch-time clock sound effect. As Bayonetta’s house husband, it is my job, nay, my privilege to sift through all the theories that have arisen and consider which ones might have merit.
