Atsuko Tanaka is a Japanese voice actor known for voicing Motoko Kusanagi, Lisa Lisa, and Caster. Hellena Taylor is a British actress and the English voice artist for Bayonetta in all of her appearances prior to Bayonetta 3.

Bloomberg also reached out to Taylor on the matter, who said this account was “an absolute lie,” and said Platinum was “trying to save their ass and the game.” Furthermore, Taylor said she, “would like to put this whole bloody franchise behind me quite frankly get on with my life in the theatre.” It’s important to note that Bloomberg says the info above comes from “two people familiar with the negotiations,” as well as documentation Bloomberg reviewed. This led to Jennifer Hale being cast as Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3, although Taylor was offered a cameo in the game for the fee of one session. Platinum turned down Taylor’s request and started to look for someone to replace her.

Today brings us a bit more insight into the situation. Update - October 18: Two new reports have disputed Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylors claims that developer Platinum Games offered her just 4,000 to reprise her role in Bayonetta 3. No matter whether it is the Japanese version or the English version, her sassy voice is the very soul of the Bayonetta game series. But none stand out more than Bayonetta herself. While PlatinumGames originally cited “various overlapping circumstances” as the reason, Taylor later claimed she didn’t return to the role due to a flat-fee for the job that she felt was insulting. Bayonetta 3 behind the voice actors has some of the most iconic characters in gaming history. As you no doubt know by now, Hellena Taylor is not returning to voice Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3.
