Last month, we informed you about PlatinumGames teasing a PC release of its action title, Vanquish. And today, SEGA of Europe shared an image, hinting at a 2017 re-release.

This image features the logo of the Order of the Russian Star. So yeah, this is undoubtedly a teaser for Vanquish.
Since SEGA has recently released Bayonetta on Steam, our guess is that Vanquish will be coming to Steam in 2017.
Stay tuned for more!

Finally!!!!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1bb121095f00f54d44c96fd379bb7784a095152161abf9166fde903f3b4a6aba.jpg !!!!!!
No, the finally happens the day it’s released, and even then only if it’s a good port.
Yeap, sad truth
Van Squish gun bee gud.
that’s great news. although bayonetta sales weren’t that good. PC gamers are stingy as usual.
Stingy?, the game was sold at a cheap price. You also have to factor in that the game hasn’t touched PC in over 8 years, so where do you think everyone was during those 8 years?.
“weren’t that good”?
Are you high? 100,000 copies sold in under 24 hours for an 8-year-old console port that only so many people knew about before hand “isn’t that good”?
SEGA may be dumb, but I think Platinum can surely figure out that Vanquish will sell even better than that; at least twice, if not three times as much in the first 24 hours, & I’m betting a million, total, within a month.
Genre, in my opinion, mainly; Vanquish is a shooter (yes, a high-grade skill shooter, but still), whereas Bayonetta is basically a Devil May Cry-type game. These two genres have different levels of appeal to the wider public, & thus different amounts of potential customers.
A million within 30 days might be overstepping it (500,000 might be more accurate, really), but if Valkyria Chronicles has already almost cleared that much, I can definitely see Vanquish reaching that mark sooner, rather than later.
That’s interesting, though, I’ve always found Vanquish to be the more well known of the two – or, well, in recent times, at least, as it’s only really come to the forefront in recent years, after all.
ive always heard more of bayo than of vanquish but i guess it depends who you hang out with (or where)
Vanquish was a game ahead of its consoles i would buy it in a second if the price is right.
I doubt they’ll price it higher than Bayonetta, honestly, unless they go all-out & make a full-scale remaster, rather than just a straight-up (but well done) port, but I’m not expecting that, really, so, yeah, assume Bayonneta’s pricing, & decide accordingly 😛
Yep, that’s the price point that i’m hopping for, none the less they might be thinking that as Bayonneta sold so well, to push the prices higher. Well, i think this game has a wider appeal than bayonneta, but let’s see.
Not as stingy as consoIes aII those years and bayonetta couId not get a sequeI so nintendo had to fund it as an exIusive, thats the onIy way consoIes can get exIusives by mutibiIIion corporations whose consoIes are not the onIy form of incoming, paying for their deveIopment. MeanwhiIe pc has more games than aII consoIes combined.
Indeed. Regardless of the critical acclaim both Bayonetta and Vanquish sold like crap on consoles.
As long as they don’t f*ck up the mouse controls, we should expect great things. Very excited, personally!
Dark Souls, Assassin’s Creed, Nier Automata. Some games should be played with a gamepad.
And Vanquish isn’t one of them, it’s a shooter. Where did you imagine I made that argument anyways?
Agreed. Vanquish with m/k is going to be epic. My gamepad aiming is sh*t, which has always held me back on it.
Walkior told me it was your low I.Q…..I didn’t believe him though….
😮
Remastered for ps4 im sure
Yeah, just like Bayonett-
Oh, wait.

Why keep visiting this PC centric site? It’s because you’re insecure, right?
Sega’s regional divisions operate pretty much completely independently from each other, with Europe being the PC centric one responsible for these ports.
The one exception, Valkyria Chronicles, was a weird coincidence with Sega Europe giving PC gamers one of the actual ports they had petitioned and campaigned for, and Sega Japan completely seperately giving PS4 owners what they thought was an appetizer for Azure Revolution.
It’s somewhat messy, but it still beats modern day Nintendo with its western divisions being mere marketing and localization branches.
I was under the impression Platinum did the Bayonetta port themselves? If so, I’d expect the same thing in this case as well, all things considered.
What ever happened to Phantasy Star 2 PC? >_>
so, may 2017 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f0708ecbe623f6077a32404ef15d5bab736469998bbdfc5c1eb164386bb78f9.png
