Preorder Bayonetta Origins For Only $45

We’re just days away from the release of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, a prequel spin-off to the popular action series. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, you can preorder Bayonetta Origins for just $45 at Super Shop when using GameSpot’s exclusive promo code GMSPTBYNT.

Editor’s Note: Previously, this discount code dropped the price to $49. The deal is now even better at just $45. If you already preordered at the $49 price point, Super Shop will refund the difference if you file a customer service ticket.

To cash in on the deal, head over to the Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon store page at Super Shop. You’ll see the game already listed at a discount ($55, down from $60), but after adding it to your cart and using the promo code GMSPTBYNT, it’ll drop all the way down to just $45–making this the cheapest way to get Bayonetta Origins at this time.

Though Super Shop offers free shipping that typically takes just a few days, you won’t get release-day delivery. But if you’re fine with not playing on launch day, you can’t beat this deal. You should receive your game early next week.

Bayonetta Origins is quite the departure from the mainline series. You play as two characters, Cereza and Cheshire, simultaneously as you navigate a colorful world from an isometric perspective. There’s still action combat, but Bayonetta Origins is more puzzle- and narrative-focused.

Despite big changes in style and tone, Bayonetta Origins is more than worthy of its name. It earned a 9/10 in our Bayonetta Origins review.

“Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and The Lost Demon is a testament to thinking outside the box,” critic Jessica Howard wrote. “While I don’t suspect Platinum Games will pivot to this new style of gameplay and storytelling in future Bayonetta games in the same way Breath of the Wild or God of War (2018) shifted the direction of their respective franchises, I cannot help but be thankful that the studio trusted the vision of its team enough to create this experience. Though with how fantastic every aspect of the game is, I understand why the developer did.”

As a prequel, you can enjoy Bayonetta Origins even if you haven’t played the other three games in the franchise. That said, we’d highly recommend playing all three of them. Bayonetta 3, which released last fall, is discounted to $45 at Amazon and Best Buy right now. Meanwhile, you can snag the first Bayonetta game on PC (Steam) for $16.59 at Fanatical.
