PlatinumGames has revealed that their upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive, Bayonetta 3 will feature a family-friendly mode, censoring the nudity in the game. 

For those who don’t know, the Bayonetta series follow the Umbra Witch, who has to be partially naked for some of her more powerful moves. While the moves will still be part of the upcoming game, PlatinumGames is now finally letting the Umbra Witch do them being clothed.

In a tweet, PlatinumGames revealed the ‘naive angel mode’ to help avoid a possible awkward situation in the living room for folks with families. Along with the tweet, they published a small clip showcasing how the feature will work.

Here’s a short overview of Bayonetta 3.

Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.

Bayonetta 3 launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on October 28. The game is now available to pre-order at the Nintendo Store for $59.99.
