Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon and The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR are among this week’s new video game releases for the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon comes to Nintendo Switch just five months after the flawed, fun and furious Bayonetta 3. PlatinumGames’ latest game swaps the franchise’s traditional action gameplay for a blend of exploratory platforming and puzzle-solving set in a picture-book fairy-tale world.
Players can control Cereza and Cheshire in an adventure that echoes Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons. A free demo is available now from the Nintendo Switch eShop.
PS VR2 owners keen for something new should make a point to check out The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR from Supermassive Games. The game is the spiritual sequel to 2016’s Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, which was a short but spooky highlight on Sony’s first virtual reality platform.
This week’s other new video game releases include WWE 2K23, Vernal Edge, and Anno 1800: Console Edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
