Battle and Bet in Bayonetta 2's Online Mode

Earlier this week, more details surfaced for the online multiplayer feature for Bayonetta 2.

The upcoming Wii U exclusive will allow two players to team up together as part of a co-operative "Tag Climax" feature. There'll be meaty bosses to combat and hordes of relentless enemies to devour through a series of stages.

Players can pick their own character, weapons and equipment - so it greatly depends on storyline progression to get the upperhand. This particular mode will support both random and friend partnerships, or a CPU partner if no-one is available.

Want to put a stake on online performance? Bayonetta 2 will also allow players to gamble away their skills by playing bets on who can score higher points. The money earned can then be used to unlock content like new skills, accessories and weapons. The return also depends on the types of stage selected, with the harder variety yielding more if completed.
