"Fight with new over-the-top weapons that open new possibilities to the way you battle, including the Kafka, a bow that shoots poisonous arrows; the Rakshasa, a pair of beautiful katana blades; and a giant rifle-inspired scythe known as the Chernobog."

This is from the Nintendo E3 site- http://e3.nintendo.com/games/wiiu/bayonetta-2/

So now we have names for four weapons: Kafka-the bow that apparently shoots poisonous arrows, Love Is Blue, Chernobog-the scythe-rifle hybrid, and Rakshasa-the katanas/rapiers.

Okay, so a bit of what I can dig up on the names, source being Wikipedia:

"Chernobog (Proto-Slavic *čĭrnŭ "black" and *bogŭ "god"), also spelled as Czernobog, Crnobog and Tchernobog is a Slavic deity, whose name means black god, about whom much has been speculated but little can be said definitively. The only historical sources, which are Christian ones, interpret him as a dark, accursed god, but it is questionable how important or malicious he was really considered to be by ancient Slavs. The name is attested only among West Slavic tribes of the 12th century, hence it is speculated that he was not a very important or very old deity. He is the counterpart of Belobog, a reconstructed Slavic deity of light and Sun."

The Kafka could possibly be named after "Franz Kafka, whose writings influenced such genres as existentialism. Most of his works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Prozess (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent–child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, labyrinths of bureaucracy, and mystical transformations."

Rakshasa-"A Rakshasa is said to be a mythological humanoid being or unrighteous spirit in Hinduism. As mythology made its way into other religions, the rakshasa was later incorporated into Buddhism."

There's two more shown weapons, name currently unknown: The hammer with Hecatonchier as its Umbran summon, and the flame/ice-stream throwers, with the Hydra demon as its summon.

"Halos can then be traded in a story mode shop to unlock new techniques, buy accessories and pick up alternate weapon variations."

Alternate weapon variations? Hm.

Also, apparently Bayo can turn into a dragon, or is it me being shortsighted as usual?
