Some Of Bayonetta 3's Mechanics Are Reminiscent Of Scalebound, Claims Former Platinum Dev

As seen on Twitter, JP Kellams, a former developer from Platinum Games, spoke about how Bayonetta 3 director Yusuke Miyata worked as a "super talented" lead designer for Scalebound.

Then Kellams added that some of the mechanics seen on the trailer of the game looked similar to what Miyata did in Scalebound. In a follow-up reply, they advised:

Yeah... The controlling the summons thing looks VERY similar to a mechanic that we had in Scalebound to control Thuban. Now that I've gotten to rewatch the trailer, I'm really psyched for that. :)

Here is the official new trailer for Bayonetta 3:
