BLEACH Mirrors High is expected to be released in summer 2026

With direct supervision from original author Tite Kubo, BLEACH Mirrors High promises to maintain the original spirit of the series, while introducing new elements.

BLEACH, a manga series created by Tite Kubo, has become a symbol of the shonen genre since its launch in 2001, with more than 130 million copies sold globally and an anime spanning hundreds of episodes, telling the story of Ichigo Kurosaki – a teenager who suddenly becomes a Shinigami, fighting against the evil spirits of the Hollows to protect the living world and souls.

The series is not only famous for its breathtaking battles and legendary Bankai, but also deeply explores the themes of death, sacrifice and friendship, making it still retain its strong appeal after more than two decades, especially with the Thousand-Year Blood War re-animated from 2022, bringing modern graphics and top-notch scenarios.

The BLEACH Mirrors High project was developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, a giant in the anime game industry with a series of successes such as Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle or Naruto x Boruto Ninja Voltage, ensuring high quality production.

Currently, information about the gameplay is still a mystery, only confirming that this is a game for iOS and Android, released globally. However, the biggest highlight is Tite Kubo’s deep participation right from the project kick-off meeting. He not only oversaw co-production but also directly designed the character concept, plot and visuals, including completely new original characters, helping the game bear the author’s personal touch.

This makes fans feel secure about authenticity, avoiding the situation of being “lost” like some other game adaptations. Imagine you will be able to control Ichigo or Rukia in new battles, with possibly “mirror” related mechanics – based on the title Mirrors High, suggesting a parallel dimension or mysterious school, combining familiar RPG action elements of the series.

To arouse curiosity, the producer released a brief teaser trailer, displaying familiar images from BLEACH with epic background music, text “TV Animation Series BLEACH” and the promise of “A New Mobile Game Project” in summer 2026, ending with “STAY TUNED”. The trailer does not reveal gameplay, but it’s enough to get fans excited, reminiscent of the flash combat scenes from the original anime.

In addition, the official page also posted a video message from Tite Kubo, where he shared his excitement about creating a new story, making the community buzz on the forums with thousands of expectant comments.

The launch of Mirrors High comes just one month after BLEACH: Soul Resonance, another mobile title released on November 21, 2025 by Nuverse Games, in partnership with Crunchyroll Games and A PLUS JAPAN. Soul Resonance quickly received praise for its fast action gameplay, faithful recreation of the original story, and colorful Bankai combat system, allowing for smooth character switching and cinematic skill execution like in the anime.

The game focuses on thrilling swordplay encounters, helping players feel familiar with their favorite series, and has attracted millions of downloads in just the first week. This puts Mirrors High in a fierce competitive position, requiring excellence to stand out. But with support from Kubo and Bandai Namco, the game can bring a unique experience, such as combining gacha elements with the original plot, like BLEACH: Brave Souls – a 2015 game that is still updating with new content, proving the franchise’s enduring vitality.

In the context of BLEACH celebrating a strong comeback, with fan art spreading on social networks and a vibrant cosplay community, Mirrors High is not only a game but also a bridge between the old and new generations. Imagine discovering new secrets about the Soul Society, fighting alongside Byakuya or Orihime in vivid 3D graphics.

With a combination of tradition and innovation, BLEACH Mirrors High is contributing to one of the greatest anime series, where spiritual strength and swordsmanship blend into immortal stories.
