Kamiya hints at Bayonetta 2

In a tweet as concise as this news story is going to be, Platinum Games' Hideki Kamiya has said he reckons there will be a Bayonetta 2.

"Will there be a Bayonetta 2?" a fan asked the Bayonetta and Devil May Cry director on Twitter. "I believe so," he replied.

"She'll be back if you believe so," he said to another follower, slightly less convincingly, according to Siliconera.

Bayonetta met a warm reception from hardcore gamers and critics, and respectable sales, when it was released late last year in Japan and early this year in the West. Publisher SEGA has indicated it might be up for a sequel.
