As Nintendo’s Bayonetta 3 closes in on its long-awaited release date of Oct. 28, the video game franchise’s fanbase has been rocked by a statement shared by the series’ original l…
, who shares that she did not return for the new entry after being offered only $4,000 to reprise her role.
Taylor first voiced the character Bayonetta, a shape-shifting witch who can summon demons, in the action series’ first 2009 entry, released by Sega and developed by PlatinumGames. PlatinumGames partnered with publisher Nintendo for the sequel Bayonetta 2 in 2014, in which Taylor reprised her voice role. Beyond the main franchise entries, Taylor is also credited as the voice actor for Bayonetta in the fighting video games Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
“I am asking the fans to boycott this game and instead spend the money that you would’ve spent on this game donating it to charity,” Taylor continues. “I didn’t ask for too much. I was just asking for a decent, dignified living wage. What they did was legal, as it was immoral… I decided to do [this] to stand up with people all over the world who do not get paid properly for their talents. Fat cats cream off the top and leave us the rotten crumbs.
The actress also offered an explanation of the timeline behind her decision to bow out from the franchise, sharing that she was asked to audition for the role again before receiving an “insulting” offer. After writing to Hideki Kamiya, Bayonetta series creator, she received a response from the developer saying that “the memory of first meeting me as Bayonetta is a memory [he holds] dear.” That note came with the revised offer of $4,000.
