BAYONETTA ORIGINS:
CEREZA AND THE LOST DEMON

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who dreamed of becoming an elegant witch. She carried a stuffed toy possessed by a lost demon. The two of them ventured through a forbidden forest—one searching for a way to save her mother, the other to find a way home…

In Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon players control Cereza, a young witch in training, and her demonic companion Cheshire as they venture into a mysterious forest. In this action-adventure game, the pair work together to defeat crafty foes as they traverse a fairytale world brought to life with the lush, painterly colors of a picture book.

Cereza is destined to grow up to become the most formidable fighter our world has ever seen. But before becoming a powerful witch, she was once a young girl—reserved and a little bit of a scaredy-cat. This game tells the tale of Cereza’s adventure with the very first demon she ever summoned. What sinister surprises await them in the forest?

Cereza uses magic, and Cheshire his demonic strength. Alone, both would be lost, but together they can survive anything the forest throws at them.

This is the first page of Cereza’s story.

Are you taking your very first steps into the realm of Bayonetta? A brand-new world awaits you here.
Are you perhaps instead more experienced with the Bayonetta series? There may be some welcome surprises awaiting you too...

Discover the origin of a legend.
