No information was provided on the game’s development cycle, and no release window was confirmed. When asked by SourceGaming whether or not Platinum Games intended to keep Bayonetta as the series protagonist, potentially replace her, or add new characters, Inaba said:

“I would like to make Bayonetta 3. We’re talking within the company – even now – about what to do. Of course, that’s just something that you talk about when you’re making a series – do you want to keep the same protagonist? There’s plenty of precedent for changing protagonists, and so that is something we discuss – do we want to keep the same one, have a different one, add new ones – but that’s certainly not anything I can say for sure at this point.”

Inaba also briefly discussed his thoughts on the Nintendo Switch and bringing even more Platinum classics to the PC, among other things. 

The Bayonetta series was Platinum Games’ first original IP, and it has been met over the years with acclaim from critics and gamers alike because of its unique style and fast-paced action.  

Bayonetta is currently available for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Wii U. Bayonetta 2 still remains a Wii U exclusive. Platinum games recently released Vanquish for the PC.

I'm just your average basement-dwelling eclectic and eccentric video gamer who does his best to make a point, share experiences, and talk to people without swallowing his own tongue. I'm mostly into Platformers and RPG's, but I'll try pretty much anything once, and I'm also trying to find something different and interesting to play, and then share with as many people as I can. I can also beat the entire first world in Super Meat Boy while wearing oven mitts.
