Bayonetta 2 Release Date: Bayonetta 2 has been rated for the Wii U in Australia. Does this mean gamers are going to get an official announcement about its release date in the West at this E3?

According to Australian Classification Board, the game has received a Mature (M 15+) rating for strong fantasy and violence.

Bayonetta 2 is the sequel in the cult hit series featuring a witch, who actually uses her own hair to not only use as her own clothes, but can also use them to dish out some serious moves against her enemies.

The game is being developed by Platinum Games and will be published by Nintendo. While the original Bayonetta was directed by acclaimed director Hideki Kamiya, who also directed the very first Devil May Cry, he is not working on the sequel. Although he is still going to assist the development team while another director will take charge of the development of the game.

This game is a third-person action game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was released in Japan in October 2009, and in North America and Europe in January 2010. Bayonetta centers on its title character, the witch Bayonetta, who uses firearms and magical attacks to fight against angelic enemies. The game's developers designed its characters with modern style and fashion in mind, and are composed with a largely upbeat soundtrack.

Reviews praised Bayonetta for its easily-learned yet deep combat, fast pace, boss battles, time slowdown or "Witch Time" mechanic, and character and stage designs. The game has sold over 2 million units worldwide as of January 18, 2014. A sequel, Bayonetta 2, was announced exclusively for the Wii U, to be published by Nintendo. An anime film adaptation of the game by Gonzo, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, was released in Japan in November 2013.

The game definitely seems like a 2014 release but could find this out soon enough at the upcoming E3.

The original game was released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 but the sequel is exclusive to the Wii U.
