Bayonetta 2 has been classified in Australia, sparking speculation that publisher Nintendo may announce a release date soon.
The ratings board classified the game MA 15+ earlier this week, noting that it contains strong fantasy violence.
As part of its 2014 financial results briefing earlier this month, Nintendo listed the Platinum Games sequel for release this year in Japan, North America and Europe.
Bayonetta 2 was initially unveiled during a Nintendo Direct web broadcast in September 2012, when it was revealed to be a Wii U exclusive.
Published by Sega, the critically acclaimed original Bayonetta released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in Japan in October 2009, and in North America, Europe and Australia in January 2010.
