Bayonetta 2 is a stylized action game developed by PlatinumGames and released in 2014 for the Wii U. It continues the adventures of the witch Bayonetta, staging fast, intricate battles against angels and demons that play out across large, dramatic set pieces. Combat revolves around stringing together combos with an outlandish array of weapons, and players can call powerful demons into the fight using Bayonetta's Umbran Weave. In keeping with the genre, it emphasizes flashy, high-tempo action and combo execution. It was released exclusively for the Wii U.
Starting a few months after the events of the first game, Bayonetta and Jeanne are fighting off a group of angels who attacked a city during a parade. During one particular attack, Jeanne protects Bayonetta from a sudden demon summon gone wrong, causing her soul to be claimed by the depths of Hell. Upon a tip from her informant Enzo, Bayonetta heads to the sacred mountain of Fimbulvinter. An entrance to Inferno, the Gates of Hell, is said to be inside and Bayonetta plans to use it to save her friend.
