RELATED: Bayonetta & Other Video Game Characters Whose Voice Actors Changed Between Games
Like Bayonetta, Jeanne is a member of the Umbra Witch clan and has appeared in every installment of the franchise thus far. In fact, Jeanne is a playable character in the first two Bayonetta games, leading many fans to wonder whether she would once again be unlockable in Bayonetta 3. The good news is that she is, although players will need to put in a fair bit of work in order to actually unlock her.
How to Unlock Jeanne in Bayonetta 3
Just like in the first two Bayonetta games, players can unlock Jeanne in Bayonetta 3 by completing the main story. This will take most players between 12 and 15 hours in total, though those who skip cutscenes can expect to shave quite a bit of time off of those numbers. Thankfully, it doesn’t matter which difficulty players choose to complete the game on, so less-skilled players needn’t worry too much about having to push themselves too hard in order to unlock Jeanne in Bayonetta 3.
How to Play as Jeanne in Bayonetta 3
Upon completing Chapter 14 of Bayonetta 3, players will receive a message letting them know that Jeanne has been added to the Character Select screen. Although chapters will remain largely the same when playing as Jeanne, she controls very differently to the game’s other two playable characters, which can help to give Jeanne playthroughs a very unique feel. There are also certain Bewitchments that require chapters to be completed as Jeanne, so completionists will need to spend a fair bit of time with her.
How to Change Jeanne’s Outfit in Bayonetta 3
Unlike with Bayonetta and Viola, players will not be able to change Jeanne’s costume; at least not at the time of writing, anyway. This will no doubt come as a huge disappointment to some players, particularly with the Umbra Witch having sported several different looks throughout the series already. Of course, that’s not to say that new outfits for Jeanne won’t be added to the game at some point in the future, but, for now, at least, players will have to settle for the pink and red number that she can be seen wearing throughout the course of the main story.
Bayonetta 3 was released on October 28, 2022, and is available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
