The release date for Bayonetta Origins (also known as Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon) is set for March 17, but if you want to test the game to see if you like it before the full version launches, you can try out the demo right now. You’ll be able to go through the game’s “early chapters” and really see if it’s something you may like.

Here’s the full rundown of the demo (from Nintendo themselves):

“This is your lucky day. Or unlucky day, depending on how you play your cards, for the Avalon Forest is just as beautiful as it is beastly, and it has an appetite for wandering witches. In the Nintendo eShop demo, you can try out the early chapters of the Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon game. As a bonus, save data will transfer over to the full version of the game, when purchased, which launches on March 17.”


You’ll be able to transfer your entire progress from the demo to the full version as soon as it launches. The demo also has some accessibility options lurking in tow: “The game also features accessibility options, such as reducing damage or automating some controls, that can help anyone (newcomers and Bayonetta fans alike) enjoy the game.”


You can download the demo directly on Nintendo’s site or via the eShop.
