The dust has certainly settled on the amiibo craze over recent months, but there's an exciting addition on the horizon. When a character joins Super Smash Bros. it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that an amiibo is on the way, and now we have some physical evidence of the upcoming Bayonetta figure.
Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto posted an update on the PlatinumGames blog, offering up a sly tease of the new amiibo. This one is nicely timed for the second anniversary of Bayonetta 2, but no concrete release date has been announced. For now you'll have to make do with this very close-up photo:
Here's what Hashimoto had to say:
I’m afraid that this little taste is all I can give you right now, since we’re still working hard to get her just right. But I assure you that we’re going to capture everything you know and love about Bayonetta – every detail down to the exact sizes of her glasses and eyes – and bring you an amiibo that’ll meet your every expectation.
Back when we were making Bayonetta 2, there wasn’t any talk of bringing the game to life in three dimensions like this. In fact, this is the first time a character from a game I’ve directed has been made into a figure. I’m shocked by how well Bayonetta’s essence has been shrunk down to fit in the palm of your hand! What an amazing era…
I’m really looking forward to the full unveiling of the Bayonetta amiibo, and I hope you’re as excited as I am.
