Umbra Clock Tower (アンブラの時計塔, Umbra Clock Tower) is an upcoming downloadable content stage in Super Smash Bros. 4 from the Bayonetta series.

Stage layout

The battle takes place on a main platform in free fall. Occasionally falling debris comes close to the main platform, serving as extra hard platforms.

The angels Affinity, Inspired, and Fortitudo appear in the background of Purgatorio, which players enter and exit throughout the match, though it is currently unclear whether they interact with the fighters.

Origin

The Umbra Clock Tower is a reference to the opening of Bayonetta, where Bayonetta and Jeanne fight angels on top of a falling clock tower face during the Witch Hunts. The stage also appears in Bayonetta 2 when Bayonetta is sent back in time. Forced to re-experience the Witch Hunts all over again, while fighting by the side of her mother Rosa. Bayonetta and Rosa witness first hand the clock towers destruction, due to two giant fire ball attacks by the angel Fortitudo. The resulting explosion causes Bayonetta and Rosa to fall off a different cliff side together one different from that of her past self and Jeanne.

Upon its destruction Rosa calls the tower the "Symbol of the Umbran Way", and begins mourning its destruction, showing that the tower itself had significant meaning to the Umbran culture, and their way of life.

In the Bayonetta series, there are three different dimensions called the Trinity of Reality; The Human World, Paradiso, and Inferno. Within the 'middle' of this trinity is Purgatorio, an alternate reality to the Human World, which Angels and Demons can use to influence the Human World without having to directly enter it.
