Unsurprisingly, Hellena provided her voice there as well. After more than a decade of embodying the role, fans have made her name practically synonymous with that of the iconic witch. So when the first official trailer for Bayonetta 3 debuted in September 2021, fans already noticed a different voice.Article continues below advertisement
In an October 2022 interview with GameInformer, game director Yusuke Miyata confirmed that Hellena wouldn't be returning to the role, citing "various overlapping circumstances."
Instead, voice actress Jennifer Hale fills her shoes as the new voice for Bayonetta in the third game.

Hellena considered this offer an "insult" and has since urged people to boycott the upcoming game, asking people to use the money that they would have spent on the game to donate to charity. "I decided to do it to stand up in solidarity with people all over the world who do not get paid properly for their talents," Hellena stated in her videos.Article continues below advertisement
Her statements come during a larger movement in which voice actors are calling for unionization to combat unfair working conditions and unequal pay.
