Bayonetta 3 by Platinum Games is one of the most anticipated titles from this month. The Nintendo Switch exclusive hack ‘n slash sees the widely beloved witch returning for her third rodeo.

With numerous gameplay trailers and story trailers already out there, fans and newcomers are excited to get their hands on them. However, many have speculated the reason for replacing the voice actor for the title.

In Bayonetta 3, Jeniffer Hale takes on the duties of voicing the titular character, replacing Hellena Taylor. Well, we finally have the answers to the mystery.

In a series of video tweets on her personal Twitter, Hellena Taylor explained the reason for her exclusion from the upcoming title.

Taylor says that Platinum Games offered her a total of $4000. The company offered her the amount after Taylor sent a letter to Hideki Kamiya, Executive Director of Bayonetta 3. Kamiya is also the Vice President of Platinum Games. She goes on, urging the fans to boycott Bayonetta 3.

In the videos, Taylor also claims that the reason why she declined the work was that PlatinumGames gave her an “immoral” offer to reprise the role. She goes on to say that she suffered anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts after she worried about being out of work.

Hideki Kamiya did respond to these claims on his Twitter account, saying that Taylor’s claims were untrue. He then proceeded to block almost everyone who questioned him about these claims.

Sad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth. That's what all I can tell now.

By the way, BEWARE OF MY RULES.

Many also speculated that this might be PlatinumGames’ way to get rid of Taylor in favour of getting Jeniffer Hale for the title by offering Hellena Taylor $4000, which she would’ve declined.

For the uninitiated, Hale is one of the well-known voice actors in the games industry, voicing female commander Shepard in Mass Effect, among many others. She is also one of the advocates for the unionization of voice actors in the industry.

PlatinumGames is yet to clarify these claims by Taylor. Bayonetta 3 will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch this month, on 28 October.
