Bayonetta 3 finally launches on Switch tomorrow. And in anticipation of the highly anticipated return of the Umbra Witch, Nintendo has revealed the details of the game’s first patch to get us and the game ready for some angel and demon-busting action (thanks, Nintendo Everything!).
The main thing this day-one patch adds is improved online functionality. You can upload your best scores and times to the online leaderboards and compare yourself with other Bayonetta fans around the world. The Naive Angel mode is also available in more scenes – just in case you want to hide Bayonetta a bit more.
The patch is available now and you can download it once you get your hands on the game. Until there, here are the patch notes:
