Couldn't load pickup availability
Once upon a time, there was a young witch named Cereza…
Long before this trainee of the dark arts would come to be called Bayonetta, she took a fateful journey into the forbidden Avalon Forest. Alongside her was Cheshire, her very first demon, possessing Cereza’s stuffed toy. Play as both Cereza and Cheshire and search through the treacherous forest to look for the power to save Cereza’s mother.
Skillfully control Cereza and Cheshire
Using the left side of the controller, Cereza can bind enemies with her magic and uncork helpful potions. Her magic gauge allows her to use Umbran Arts.
Using the right side of the controller, Cheshire can slash and chomp foes, as well as change forms. His magic gauge allows him to unleash powerful abilities more often.

Magical might
Cereza’s Witch Pulse can transform the environment, and her magic also has the power to dispel devious illusions. She can walk through the patches of rosemary that Cheshire cannot.
Traverse a storybook-inspired overworld, unlocking new paths to explore
Avalon Forest is just as beautiful as it is beastly. Each new area looks like it has been painted carefully by hand. Fully narrated story scenes are told through the vibrantly illustrated pages of a storybook.

Morgana
A solitary Umbra Witch, living an unimposing life near the edge of Avalon Forest, displaced far from the rest of the clan. Morgana invited Cereza to come live with her and has since made Cereza her pupil.
A BEWITCHING TALE BEGINS! CONTROL TWO CHARACTERS AT ONCE AND JOURNEY THROUGH A MAGICAL STORYBOOK WORLD!
Long before she became the legendary, dual-pistol-wielding Umbra Witch we all know and love, she was just Cereza—a young, timid apprentice desperate to save her trapped mother. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon casts a gorgeous spell onto the Nintendo Switch, stepping completely away from the series' hyper-violent hack-and-slash roots to deliver an enchanting, watercolor-painted action-adventure that feels like a living fairytale!
Venture deep into the beautiful but treacherous Avalon Forest, a sprawling labyrinth controlled by deceptive faeries. You won't be navigating this dangerous woodland alone, though! Joined by Cheshire, a massive, foul-tempered demon bound inside Cereza's favorite stuffed toy, this unlikely duo must work together to conquer puzzles, unleash magical combat, and survive the dark mysteries hidden beneath the trees.
