Vanquish[b] is an action third-person shooter video game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It began development in 2007[1] and was released worldwide in October 2010.[2] A Windows port was released on May 25, 2017.[3] A compilation titled Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 18, 2020, including remastered versions of the game and PlatinumGames' Bayonetta.
The game is notable for introducing several innovations to the 3D shooter genre, including a fast-paced style of gameplay reminiscent of 2D bullet hell shooters,[4] beat 'em up elements,[5] and an original sliding-boost mechanic.[6] It received a positive critical reaction upon release, with critics praising the game's fast-paced action, innovations to the shooter genre, boss battles and visual style, while criticizing the game's writing, voice acting and overall short length of the campaign. The game is estimated to have sold more than 1 million units worldwide.
