14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like two beloved PlatinumGames titles are getting the remaster treatment – Bayonetta and Vanquish, but this time on console. Although the information hasn't been officially confirmed yet, listings for the two remasters appeared on Microsoft Store earlier this week.
Now a trailer for Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle appeared online to support the earlier rumor. The official description of the game indicates that the bundle will be released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of PlatinumGames' two most celebrated titles.
"Commemorate the 10th anniversary of PlatinumGames’ two most celebrated titles with the Bayonetta & Vanquish remastered dual-pack. 4K graphics available at 60fps on Xbox One X. Experience the genesis of the Bayonetta series with the original action-adventure. Take advantage of Bayonetta’s arsenal of skills to hack, slash, and open fire upon hordes of celestial foes.
Play as space soldier Sam Gideon in the hit sci-fi shooter, Vanquish. Equipped with BLADE, the experimental weapon system that can scan and copy existing weapons, he must infiltrate conquered space colony Providence and defeat legions of future-tech enemies."
The listings also reveal a release date, so you can expect to be able to purchase the two remaster games via Microsoft Store on February 18, 2020. The remasters will be available to buy separately, but also bundled together as a Launch Edition. Also, an official website for both games is available here, but it's not live yet.
Although we only know the remasters will be launched on Xbox One early next year, there's a high chance that PlayStation 4 owners will be able to play them as well around the same time.
First launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009, Bayonetta made it to Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and PC later on. If you have the PC version, which was released in 2017, you already benefit from 60 FPS at 4K.
