BLEACH Mirrors High announced for summer 2026

Just a month after the release of Bleach: Soul Resonance, Bandai Namco has announced a new game for the Tite Kubo licence. BLEACH Mirrors High is "a new mobile game project" scheduled for summer 2026, and for the moment it's all still a bit hazy. But here's what we do know!

Tite Kubo is heavily involved in the creation of BLEACH Mirrors High

Unfortunately I don't have any illustrations, let alone a gameplay trailer, to show you for the announcement of BLEACH Mirrors High. What we do know is that BLEACH creator Tite Kubo is actively involved in the project.

The official Mirrors High website reveals that the mangaka is involved in the script, character design and even logo design. As far as the story is concerned, it will be partly linked to the narrative of the manga.

For this project, I have been involved from the kickoff meeting and worked on the title, scenario, and character designs. As for character designs, I got so excited working on them and ended up doing more than what was requested.[...] I sat in on the audition and also took part in the recording sessions, so the characters turned out just as I imagined. The story is partly related to the main scenario of the comics, so I hope you look forward to that too.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is in charge of development, and has announced that the game will be released in the summer of 2026. However, no precise date has been revealed, and the game has not yet begun pre-registration.

BLEACH Mirrors High, a new game to compete with Bleach: Soul Resonance?

This whole announcement is rather surprising, coming as it does just one month after the release of Bleach: Soul Resonance, an RPG developed by Crunchyroll and A PLUS JAPAN, published by Nuverse Games. And the least we can say is that Soul Resonance has been very well received by gamers. Does this mean that Bandai Namco is planning to seriously compete with Soul Resonance? In any case, we'll keep you posted as soon as we find out more about the gameplay and exact release date of BLEACH Mirrors High.
