SEGA kunne i går afsløre, at de er nået til enighed med PlatinumGames omkring en aftale, som vil udmønte sig i fire spil (MADWORLD – Wii, Infinite Line – DS & Bayonetta – X360 samt en fjerde ikke annonceret titel) med fælles front. Gamasutra var blandt de medier, som har fundet tid til at deltage i SEGAs presse-event i går og firmaet tog ikke uventet de store ord i brug for at beskrive aftalen med PlatinumGames. Vi har netop modtaget en række lettere obskure billeder af Bayonetta, som du finder vedhæftet til nedenstående uddrag af SEGAs pressemeddelelse.
