Following its release back in October of 2022, the third entry in the Bayonetta series has accomplished a lot from receiving a fair amount of critical praise for its action-packed gameplay, to seeing some solid sales figures as well.

On the latter, developer PlatinumGames recently shared the news on social media that Bayonetta 3 has officially surpassed over 1 million copies sold. The news was shared alongside a previously released overview trailer for the game that provides additional insight into Bayonetta 3 for those who may be unfamiliar.

Outside of celebrating Bayonetta 3 selling over a million copies, PlatinumGames is also preparing to release a spin-off title for Bayonetta called Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon on March 17. The game will venture away from the over-the-top combat and adult themes of previous Bayonetta titles, and will instead follow a young Cereza as she becomes acquainted with her powers and Cheshire, the demon companion she ends up summoning.
