‘Bayonetta’ Voice Actor Hellena Taylor Says She Was Offered Only $4,000 for ‘Bayonetta 3’

October 16, 2022

Bayonetta 3's release date has been revealed

Nintendo is set to release the highly anticipated Bayonetta 3 at the end of October, but series voice actor Hellena Taylor is urging fans not to buy it. Taylor, who voiced the title character in 2009’s Bayonetta and 2014’s Bayonetta 2, called for the boycott of the upcoming game. The reason? After voicing the title character of a multi-million dollar gaming franchise, Taylor was offered an insulting $4,000 to reprise her role for Bayonetta 3.

Taylor took to Twitter to call for the boycott in a series of videos, where she says, “The Bayonetta franchise made approximately $450 million. That’s not including merchandise. As an actor, I trained for a total of seven and a half years, … What did they think this was worth? What did they offer to pay me? The final offer to do the whole game — as a buyout, flat rate — was $4,000. This is an insult to me [and] the amount of time that I took to work on my talent and everything I’ve given to this game and to the fans.”
