NEXON revealed the latest collaboration for The First Descendant, a crossover with the legendary Umbra Witch, Bayonetta, launching on November 6. To celebrate, NEXON also premiered a new trailer, offering a first look at the collaboration’s kinetic style.

In this trailer, Gley is seen armed with 'The Last Dagger,' the exclusive collaboration weapon skin inspired by Bayonetta's trusty 'Scarborough Fair' handguns. The sequence also features combat reminiscent of Bayonetta’s signature 'Witch Time’ mechanic, unleashing a storm of slow-motion projectiles in bullet-time fashion.

The collaboration will introduce a variety of Bayonetta-themed cosmetics, including a full body skin based on the iconic character, weapon skins inspired by Bayonetta’s iconic heel-gun and handguns, in addition to an exclusive makeup skin and special social motion and spawn/despawn effects.

To further celebrate the collaboration, a developer livestream is scheduled for Friday, September 26 at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET, where fans can catch a live look at the Bayonetta cosplay from Tokyo Game Show and get an early preview of the upcoming October 1 update. The livestream presentation will also unveil the highly anticipated new weapon, the 'Sword,' along with its associated modules and external components, as well as a glimpse of a brand-new dungeon.
