Bayonetta PC now available, supports 4K!

Sega has recently announced Bayonetta PC version has been launched. It has been six years since the original game was first launched on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is now available on Steam. With this re-release, there are quite a few improvements. The most notable is the 4K support. Plus, like all PC games, players can now control and adjust graphical options such as texture quality, texture filtering, anti-aliasing, shadow quality, and SSAO quality. HDR and 60fps gameplay is now also possible, Sega said.

What’s more, until April 25, Sega is giving everyone who purchases the Bayonetta PC version the upgrade to Digital Deluxe Edition free of charge. The Deluxe version includes five track soundtrack sampler, the digital artbook “from the Climax Edition, enhanced with even more concept art” (in Sega’s words), wallpapers, and avatars. It will also have Japanese and English voiceover and subtitles. You can see the Bayonetta PC running with enhanced graphics in the video below.

The last entry in the Bayonetta’s original storyline was Bayonetta 2, released in 2014, which was exclusive to the Wii U. Both the second game and the original was developed by Japanese studio Platinum Games. Aside from remastering the original game for PC, it is said that there is possibility of a third game in the franchise. It was designer Hideki Kamiya who revealed this this at last year’s E3. Allegedly, some outlines of the game has been written, and has been discussed internally. The possibility of the game is still open, and the company said that they are seriously going to look into it!
