Platinum Games have put up a new Bayonetta 3 patch on January 10 and this update (version 1.2.0) is meant to address some major issues that were plaguing the game until this point.
Some of the things that the patch addresses include:
Combat adjustments that mainly apply to Viola.
Nerfs to many Niflheim challenge stages (which a lot of people asked for, even on higher-end difficulties).
The Tricolored Keys/Old Picture Book secret is easier to access, as you just get the Tricolored Keys automatically now.
Other minor game balance issues, as well as bug fixes.
The first two points are entwined since many folks were frustrated with some of the Viola-specific Niflheim challenges. Now it’s much easier to enter Witch Time with Viola since it’s been generally buffed. This is something that the community demanded for a while and there is no doubt plenty of people will be satisfied with the new changes. Other than that, we’ve got enhanced ease of accessing the teaser demo for the upcoming Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon which is quite a bold move indeed.
You can check out the full patch notes on the official Nintendo website.
