Just one day before launch, it has been revealed that the Switch-exclusive Bayonetta 3 will be getting a day one patch.
PlatinumGames’ latest action RPG, Bayonetta 3 is all set for release tomorrow. To unlock further functionality and refine some features, the game will be getting a small day one patch. The major highlight of the patch is the “Naive Angel” mode which has been adjusted. The mode tones down violence and sexual content in the game for those looking to do that. The patch changed the mode to apply to more scenes in the game and can now be enabled instantly. Earlier, the Naive Angel mode could only be enabled after the prologue.
