    Default Bayonetta 2 cancelled?

    It's not even been officially announced yet, but word on the grapevine is that Bayonetta 2 may have been cancelled as part of SEGA's effort to restructure and get its financial performance in order. Apparently that plan could involve putting the brakes on one of the publisher's best IPs.

    A source close to our good friends at SPOnG dropped the bombshell, claiming that development on a Bayonetta sequel has ground to a halt, following rendunancies and a major reshuffling at SEGA following a poor fiscal year. According to the source, Bayonetta 2 was past its pre-production stage.

    Platinum Games' projects have had a history of being critically lauded, then falling short at retail, so its rumoured that Bayonetta 2 could be a casualty of SEGA's new focus on more lucrative projects going forward. The original Bayonetta launched in January 2010 and garnered a well-earned high score on X360A. We're hoping that the rumours of Bayonetta 2's demise are just that. Rumours. SEGA's official line? "No comment." Pah!

    As for the bolded, if this is at all true...

    *looks at Sonic All-Stars Racer 2 announcement from yesterday*

    What the fuck, Sega?!

    Isn't Bayonetta pretty lucrative though? Or is it a forgone conclusion the series can't perform any better than it's first game did?

    I only played the demo but I'm not talking about the fun. Sega's talking about focusing on lucrative projects, yet Bayonetta sold better despite Sonic racing being released on everything under the sun.

    It probably a lot cheaper to make a cart racer than a titty brawler.

    I'm sorry Bane. This must be a dark day for you.

    I wasn't aware there was real development on Bayonetta 2. I guess I will savior Bayonetta right now then.

    And with MP.

    I do still have the HD collection to get through. Maybe I will finally get to it before the next GoW.

    Too bad about Bayonetta though. I did enjoy it on the PS3 up till the final boss.
