Bayonetta is heading to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as a playable racer you can claim for free when she arrives. The game has confirmed the Umbra Witch as its first free character release for Year Two, with her debut planned for the coming months.
This is a crossover appearance rather than a new Bayonetta adventure. If you have been waiting for another mainline entry, this announcement concerns her place on the racing roster–not a new standalone game.
Bayonetta takes to the track
The latest Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds trailer shows Bayonetta racing alongside Sonic and friends while performing her familiar acrobatic poses. Her arrival will follow the game’s collaborations with Godzilla and Evangelion.
For you as a player, the key detail is that Bayonetta will be available to claim at no additional cost upon release. An exact launch date has not been announced, so there is not yet a specific day to mark for her playable debut.
Year Two showcase set for October 9
An official Year Two showcase livestream is scheduled for October 9. It will offer further details and a closer look at upcoming characters. That is the next announced opportunity to learn more about the lineup, but it should not be confused with Bayonetta’s release date.
