PS5 Bayonetta games would be a brilliant 15th anniversary gift

To celebrate Bayonetta's 15th anniversary PlatinumGames plans to make fun announcements throughout the year. One of which I hope is Bayonetta on PS5 in 2025.

Now, I have had the time of my life earning those Bayonetta trophies on both PS3 and PS4. Frankly, I think Bayonetta is one of the best PS3 games ever created and I only wish its sequels were also on PlayStation. Seriously, Bayonetta needs to come to PS5 in 2025.

Bayonetta 1-3 on PS5 would be the perfect 15th anniversary present

  • Bayonetta originally released on PS3 on January 8, 2010
  • PlatinumGames partnered up with Nintendo and made future Bayonetta sequels exclusive to the Wii U and Nintendo Switch
  • Microsoft's recent third-party ventures may open up a door for Nintendo to do the same
Look, I know it's most likely a pipe dream of mine that Bayonetta 2 and 3 will ever come to PS5. But, I refuse to give up dreaming about it. If the rumors of Microsoft genuinely contemplate bringing their iconic IPs like Halo and Gears of War to PS5 are true, why can't Nintendo do the same with Bayonetta? After all, the first one is already on PS3 and PS4, so it would kind of make sense in a way.
Look at all of the former Xbox exclusives that have joined PS5 in recent months, we've even got a best Xbox games on PlayStation guide because there are so many. You've got the likes of Grounded, Sea of Thieves, HI-Fi Rush, and a bunch of others. I think Bayonetta would be the perfect game for Nintendo to test how their exclusives fair on other platforms.

With the Bayonetta 15th anniversary in full swing and PlatinumGames promising to make "various announcements" throughout the year, a Bayonetta 1-3 PS5 reveal could be one way to bring a boatload of new and old players into this incredibly addictive franchise.

While I have played Bayonetta 2 and 3 on my Nintendo Switch, I would much rather have them on PS5. This way I can not only enjoy them all over again, I would also be able to try and earn their platinum trophies. So, as a trophy hunter, that would be the ideal announcement from all of this.
Once again, I am aware that it's highly unlikely this will happen, but I choose to believe. No matter how small the chances may be. In all honestly, the most possible situation to occur is that we get another remaster of the first Bayonetta, this time for PS5. While I would not be mad about it, I definitely prefer the idea of Bayonetta 1-3 coming to PS5 instead. Please Nintendo and PlatinumGames, make this happen for me!

Are you a fan of the Bayonetta series? Would you like to see the series come to PS5 like me? Do you think either of the Bayonetta sequels would land on our best PS5 games list? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
