A new Nintendo Direct broadcast is scheduled to air on Thursday, September 4, offering new details about its upcoming action game Bayonetta 2.

Nintendo hasn't offered any further information on what the video package will contain, but a Bayonetta 2 European release date has not yet been announced and could be finalised during the broadcast.

The show will go live on Thursday at 3pm Pacific Time (6pm Eastern, 11pm UK), and can be viewed here.

Bayonetta 2, the Platinum Games-developed sequel to the acclaimed 2010 original, is a Wii U exclusive due to a partnership between Nintendo and the game's IP owner, Sega. The game will ship across North America on October 24.

As a bonus offer at retailers, the original Bayonetta will be bundled with Bayonetta 2 for free.
