Bayonetta 2 (NS): Records of Time: The End
9Here's the very start of the sequel to what I believe is PlatinumGames' most successful game ever.
This sequel was made possible despite SEGA refusing to fund it over financial problems at the time, because Nintendo came in and helped with the publishing, instead. The sacrifice of this, however, is that all Bayonetta sequels moving forward would be Nintendo exclusives.

This Records of Time preview, based on its title, seems to take place at the very end of the game's story, and we'll have to see what Bayonetta has to go through to reach that end.
In this game, not only is it more focused on blue instead of red, but Bayonetta has a new look to go with it.
She fights alongside another Umbra Witch, one that was not Jeanne, against hordes of angels, new and old. At the same time, Luka's voice can be heard narrating the creation of the game's universe, speaking of three realities: Light, Dark, and Chaos, how the reality of Chaos was ruled by a being named Aesir, and how Aesir's actions led to the creation of the Right Eye of Light, and the Left Eye of Darkness.
Bayonetta was that Left Eye. At the end of this angel battle, Bayonetta encountered a new Lumen Sage, despite knowing firsthand that all of them are gone at that point.
We have yet to see how their whole fight transpired, because it goes back into the Present Day to show how this all started to begin with.
Father Balder, Bayonetta's father, and the Right Eye, not only survived being sacrifice to resurrect Jubileus, the Creator, but he also survived Jubileus' destruction by Bayonetta's hand.
But this did not last for long. His soul was about to escape from his body, but Balder pulled it back down to him.
Balder then collapsed, and faded as light into the wind. It would seem like he was the last of the Lumen Sages to vanish from the world.
But as the preview showed... There were still others...
