Bandai Namco's Bleach Mirrors High launched on iOS and Android on October 28. The day before, the game's site posted a full opening animation by Pierrot Films, the studio behind the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, set to the new theme song "CRITICAL" by suisoh.
The pitch
The game takes place after the Thousand-Year Blood War. You play a newly awakened soul in Karakura Town who becomes a Soul Reaper. You customize your avatar and build your own Zanpakutō from the blade to the hilt. Battles use teams of three with card-based attacks, signature moves and a "Soul Drive" team-up that triggers Link Attacks. Ichigo and Rukia appear, along with ten new Soul Reapers designed by Tite Kubo himself, including Hachirota Rohbe, Tasuku Nimura and Kuon Hoshimura, per Anime News Network.

Where it fits
It's the third recent Bleach game, after the Rebirth of Souls fighting game (March 2025) and KLab's Bleach Soul Puzzle, which shut down on April 14. It also arrives right after the anime finished. The final part, The Calamity, premiered on July 25, and our Calamity episodes 49–50 guide covers how the ending aired and where to stream it.
Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 holds 8.93 on SenpaiRanks, among the highest-scored shows on the site. The Calamity where-to-watch and ranking page and the Weekly Shonen Jump anime ranking are where to go next. Want to start from the beginning? The original 2004 series is the place.
