Bayonetta 3 Wins Best Action Game at The Game Awards 2022

The Game Awards 2022 has crowned Bayonetta 3 as Best Action Game of 2022.

It was a close call, but to our utmost surprise, it was Bayonetta 3 that ultimately swept in for the win at this year's Game Awards event. It was between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Neon White, Sifu, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, too, which just goes to show the weight of the award. Kudos to PlatinumGames, then, for topping the leaderboard and bringing one of the best action-adventure games to the table this year.

“Meet Bayonetta, an Umbra Witch whose beauty is matched only by her tremendous arcane power. Take control of both – and a full arsenal of heart-stopping weapons while you’re at it – and go Angel-hunting in the nonstop climax action game that truly put PlatinumGames on the map.”

So, what comes next for the Bayonetta franchise? Well, that's just it; there are plenty of open doorways for the series — even more so now that the latest iteration has received one of the most respected awards in the industry. You can check out a trailer for the game down below.
