I get the sneaking suspicion the game has issues that no one wants to talk about. When the game was announced it's likely that it was just in a really early state, since there was only a teaser and no actual gameplay footage. I think people are worried this is going to become another Scalebound, though, when everyone involved insists things are fine and then it turns out no, they weren't fine, they were never fine, and the game people were hyped up for is cancelled.
It's just not Nintendo's way to announce a game and then just say nothing about it when things are going well, either. Look at how they talk about Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild 2, for example. If there's no new news they're very clear that there's just nothing new to show, but development is going smoothly (though Prime 4 was an unusual case because Nintendo was also transparent with Namco Bandai shitting the bed with it and the game needing to be completely restarted). Bayo 3's just been totally silent, which does not bode well.
It was probably a mistake to announce so early.

Kamiya keeps saying the Development has been smooth, so who knows.
I’m more surprised that Platinum was supposed to do a Grandblue Fantasy game of all things. >.>
Face me now, Bitch!
Their work is still being used as the main template, they just aren't working on it themselves anymore.

I get the feeling Nintendo probably wants to wait till a couple months before release before properly revealing it.
It worked for Metroid. Twice.
The "Surprise! The game's right around the corner!" Release strategy is becoming more and more common.
Face me now, Bitch!
It definitely feels like Nintendo realized they made a mistake on announcing both Bayo 3 and Metroid Prime 4 far too early.
At the same time, I think they may have over corrected with Bayo 3, because the lack of ANYTHING since December 2017 makes the wait between the announcement of KH 3 back in 2013 and the first gameplay in 2015 seem like a small wait by comparison.
This is almost the same length of time it took for something from the FFVII Remake to be fully unveiled. Its kinda ridiculous.

Hellena Taylor might not be voicing Bayonetta in 3 and can't say, likely due to an NDA.
IHE
That's going to be incredibly disappointing if that's the case.
So would there be any reason to show Bayo 3 at TGS?

Apparently Platinum does want to show off Bayo-3 but Nintendo is preventing them from doing so for whatever reason.

Nintendo has exclusive access to marketing 3 and is never at TGS themselves and actually came out and said they won't be there this year.
If 3 gets shown off, it might be as early as this week with a possible Direct, but don't quote me on that.
I just posted that this page.
The Head of the Hydra
Ah I failed to notice, sorry.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
IHE
Well, I doubt we'll get anything in general until the end of the year.
Which is infuriating with this new info.
Extremely late to react, but goddamnit.
DOUBLE GODDAMNIT.
Man, is being a Bayonetta fan suffering or something?

2022 for 3.

Finally!!!!!
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
The double fake out! First I thought the trailer was that Project G Ultraman thing they're working on, then they used Lappy from Astral Chain... What a bunch of trolls.
I feel like Bayo's redesign is gonna be controversial, although it's similar to one a few of the looks in the art books that led up to the first one.
Better with visuals. 
Face me now, Bitch!
That dude with the Sword at the end.....Could it be the protag from ScaleBound? It sure looks like him.

“I get why people say, ‘Hurry up and release info’ or ‘Show us something,’ but...,” Kamiya wrote on Twitter. “Reckless remarks like ‘Has development stopped?’ or ‘I guess it’s been delayed’, etc. are nothing but annoying public waste.”
Kamiya replied to tweets by those suggesting that development had stopped, calling those Twitter users “kuso baka” (fucking idiots). He did seem irritated with the speculation, especially because he’s previously indicated things are progressing well. For fans, when news about a game doesn’t appear at a major event like E3, that can be concerning, even if those worries are completely unwarranted.
