Bayonetta, the over-the-top action brawler from Platinum Games, just got bumped into January 2010, Sega announced to a deeply saddened gaming public this morning. It will, however, still be launching in Japan on October 29.
"Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio. As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title's potential," said Mike Hayes, President and COO for SEGA West.
