Bayonetta 3 Ending Clarified: Kamiya Says Bayonetta Survives Across Multiverses

In The World of Hideki Kamiya, series creator Hideki Kamiya explains that Bayonetta’s multiverse concept has been hinted since the first game and Bayonetta 3’s ending implies she is alive in another or merged universe. He points to the Balder battle’s parallel timelines, the moon’s destruction as a multiverse cue, and a final post‑game menu photo of Luka suggesting Bayonetta exists somewhere else. Kamiya acknowledges earlier explanations were unclear and that some players misunderstood the ending as her death, noting the credits’ dance symbolizes worlds becoming one. He’s now at Clovers and no longer with PlatinumGames.
