Hellena Taylor, an actress and voice actor who worked on the first two games in the ‘Bayonetta’ franchise, revealed that the studio’s offer for her to return to ‘Bayonetta 3’ was bigger than she had previously announced.
After a series of videos posted on social media earlier this month, Taylor slammed developer Platinum Games and urged fans to boycott “Bayonetta 3.”
Taylor claimed at the time that Platinum had made a “final offer to do the entire game” of $4,000, an offer she called “immoral” and “insulting”.
According to reports from Bloomberg and VGC, however, this claim would not take place, as sources claimed that Platinum had offered a package worth US$15,000, which would be in line with category syndicate rules.
Taylor confirmed that figure but claimed “powerful journalists” were trying to discredit her.

It has come to my attention that some people call me a liar and a gold digger. I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry. View Thread #PlatinumGames #Nintendo #Bayonetta #Bayonetta3 #Bayonutters #Boycott #NintendoEurope #NintendoAmerica #NintendoJapan

‘Bayonetta’, arguably the greatest franchise created by Platinum Games, brings the powerful and sensual witch Bayonetta who, after being imprisoned for 500 years, rebels against the forces of Heaven and Hell.
In the greatest hack and slash style, created by Hideki Kamiya, the same spirit as ‘Devil May Cry’, the game became a huge hit and blossomed into a franchise, later exclusively at Nintendo.
This third game has been eagerly awaited by fans since its announcement in December 2017, during that year’s Game Awards. Since then, not much has been revealed about the title, and this layer of mystery has only heightened the hype among the public.
Recalling that ‘Bayonetta 3’ is exclusive to Nintendo Switch, picking up on the partnership that Platinum and Nintendo had for the second title, which originally released for Wii U in 2014.
“Bayonetta 3” will be released on October 28 exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
