If there is a Bayo 4 is will be Nintendo publishing. Nintendo owns Astral Chain. Supposedly 2 has been in the works for some time but had a troubled development and then a lot of people left PG including the first games director. AC2 started over in 2022 according to rumor. I hope it comes out as it's now one of my fave Nintendo IPs along Xenoblade and Sin & Punishment.
Astral Chain sold well. Astral Chain does not play like Bayonetta. Very different games. Astral Chain also has dungeons that you solve puzzles. Using legion you use shoulder buttons and the right analog stick not Y & X like most PG games. Astral Chains skills and upgrades is more ARPG lite and a lot of the skills and UI color customization options are direct love letters and references to past games from Bayonetta to Nier Automata. AC is unique for a PG game much like W101 was.
I will not hear any bitching about Bayo 3. Whiny babies. Game is great. None of the games have great writing. Bayo 3 plays great. I want both games to have a Switch 2 update to run better tho.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
