Why Bayonetta 2 Needs to Happen on GOG
Bayonetta 2 is one of the most exhilarating, stylish, and mechanically refined action games ever made — and it deserves a DRM-free release on GOG. Originally launched in 2014 as a Wii U exclusive and later ported to the Nintendo Switch, this sequel takes everything great about the original Bayonetta and dials it up to 11: faster combat, more outrageous set pieces, slick visuals, and a tighter narrative.
Releasing Bayonetta 2 on GOG would not only preserve this action classic for future generations, but it would also provide players the freedom to own and enjoy the game on their terms — without the restrictions of digital rights management or mandatory launchers. GOG has become a sanctuary for legendary titles, and Bayonetta 2 fits right into that legacy.
The game’s combat system is a masterclass in responsiveness and creativity, rewarding players who take the time to learn its depth. Witch Time, Torture Attacks, and Umbran Climax return with enhancements that make every battle feel like a choreographed dance of destruction. And let’s not forget the boss fights — absolutely bonkers in scale and spectacle.
Bringing Bayonetta 2 to GOG also paves the way for the full trilogy to live on one platform, giving fans the ability to experience Bayonetta’s entire journey DRM-free, with controller support, high-performance PC features, and potential extras like concept art and soundtracks.
Bayonetta 2 on GOG isn't just a wish — it's a necessity for fans of action games, digital preservation, and player choice.
