Hellena Taylor, the actor who voiced the beloved video game characters bayonet <\/em>in the first two installations of the franchise of the same name, has issued a statement this weekcalling on fans of the series to boycott its upcoming third title. per TMZ<\/em><\/span>Taylor revealed today that\u2014contrary to what had previously been reported by the game’s director, who cited \u201coverlapping circumstances\u201d for Taylor not returning\u2014she refused to come back for Bayonetta 3 <\/em>because studio PlatinumGames would ultimately offer each only $4,000 to star in the game. <\/p>\n

PlatinumGames’ franchise of action-heavy video games have been running\u2014slowly, but running\u2014since 2009, having become a flagship franchise for Nintendo almost stealthily, after the publisher secured exclusive rights for both 2014’s Bayonetta 2, <\/em>and the upcoming Bayonetta 3<\/em>due out on October 28. Much of the appeal of the games centers on Bayonetta herself, a confident, classy witch who’s as known for her supreme unflappability in the face of gods and demons as for her provocative outfits and sharp tongue. The latter, of course, provided by Taylor\u2014until now, when the part was transferred over to fellow veteran voice actor Jennifer Hale.<\/p>\n
