The forthcoming Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon has received a rating from the ESRB Rating board, providing information on what players may anticipate from the game before it is released. This game, which was first shown at The Game Awards 2022, would go back in time before Bayonetta 3’s dramatic conclusion and to the beginning of the chronology with an adventure featuring the young Umbra Witch. This is followed by a drastically different gameplay approach, one that substitutes an isometric overhead point of view for the series’ signature showy third-person action style.
This alteration has an impact on the game’s rating since it now shows a younger, less experienced version of the character who embarks on a more fanciful and storybook-like journey rather than a bombastic, titillating, and expressive adult battling enormous monsters. Before the game’s release on March 17, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon’s rating was posted on the ESRB website, giving gamers an indication of what to anticipate from the spin-off in terms of violence and other gameplay components.
