Action game fans now have another thing to look forward to for the New Year. Sega has penciled in an early January release for Bayonetta (PS3, Xbox 360) in the US and Europe.

The stylish hair- and torture-powered action game from Hideki Kamiya and Platinum Games will hit the US on January 2. It’ll be in Europe a few days later on January 8. No word on a demo date yet, but the early January launch points to a possible December release.

PlayStation 3 owners who can’t wait until January, however, can always just import the game’s Japanese version since it’s already in English, including the voices. Makes one wonder why they had to wait until January to release it.
