⚡ What’s the Big Deal?
- Nexon has announced a collaboration between The First Descendant and the legendary Umbra Witch, Bayonetta, set to launch November 6, 2025
- This crossover is part of the Season 3, Episode 2 update.
🔍 What You’ll Get in the Crossover
- A full-body Bayonetta skin to dress your Descendant like the Witch herself.
- Weapon skins inspired by her iconic Scarborough Fair handguns (and maybe heel-guns, too) so your gear looks stylish and deadly.
- “Witch Time”–style effects: slow-motion, flashy bullet-time projectiles, special spawn/despawn animations, and cosmetics, making combat feel extra cinematic.
- Exclusive emotes, makeup skins, and additional cosmetic effects to lean fully into Bayonetta’s vibe.
🎯 Why This Collab Hits Just Right
- The First Descendant is a looter-shooter / co-op action RPG with high-quality graphics, fast-paced combat, big boss raids, and a sci-fi fantasy blend. Adding Bayonetta gives players something with edge and style that matches well with its gameplay.
- Fans of Bayonetta love her signature style: flashy, bold, empowering—this kind of crossover gives them something new to explore. Also, it keeps Bayonetta in the spotlight during her 15th anniversary year.
🔔 Key Dates & Extras
- Release date: November 6, 2025
- There was a reveal at Tokyo Game Show 2025, including a trailer that teased all these awesome features.
- A developer livestream was scheduled for September 26, 2025, to show off cosplay, get an early view of the October 1 update, and reveal more content tied to this collaboration.
🔮 What We’re Hoping For

- Maybe the Witch Time mechanic gets integrated in a way that feels meaningful in The First Descendant’s combat—perhaps slowing time during big boss fights or for cinematic finishing moves.
- Fun additional rewards or challenges tied to Bayonetta lore—boss fights, themed missions, or collectibles related to her universe.
- More crossover events like this; this sets a standard. If this is done well, fans will expect even bigger mashups next season.
🤔 Some Potential Concerns
- Will the Bayonetta content be purely cosmetic, or will it affect gameplay balance? Some players prefer no pay-to-win feel with crossovers.
- Compatibility across platforms—The First Descendant is on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, etc. Will all features be equal?
🔥 Final Thoughts
This crossover is shaping up to be one of the most stylish and exciting collabs in The First Descendant. With Bayonetta’s signature flair, top-tier visuals, and that witchy, bullet-time action, there’s a lot to look forward to. November can’t come soon enough.
