Crunchyroll has exciting news for Bleach fans with the announcement of a new action-RPG titled Bleach: Soul Resonance. This game will allow players to immerse themselves in the beloved manga and anime series by taking direct control of its iconic characters. Set to launch later this year on iOS and Android mobile devices, the game promises an engaging experience with innovative swordplay mechanics.
Developed by Nuverse, Bleach: Soul Resonance will allow players to wield their characters’ Zanpakuto swords by moving their fingers across the screen, providing a unique combat experience that closely mirrors the show’s thrilling action. Each sword is designed with its own unique features, ensuring that players feel the distinctiveness of each character’s weapon. Gameplay will also emphasize collaboration, with players able to switch between characters to perform powerful combos and maximize character synergies effectively.
Character selection seems to be in line with fan expectations, featuring beloved figures from the series, including the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki and notable Soul Society captains such as Byakuya Kuchiki and Kenpachi Zaraki. Pre-registration for Bleach: Soul Resonance is currently open, generating excitement for this upcoming mobile adventure.
For those looking for an alternative dive into the Bleach universe, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is available on Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Released earlier this year, this fighting game boasts a complex gameplay system that encourages strategic play, setting it apart from typical 3D arena fighters.
After its return in 2022, the Bleach anime has reignited enthusiasm among fans, continuing the story with its final arc, The Thousand-Year Blood War. With three seasons already aired and a fourth currently in production, the franchise remains a significant part of anime culture, and upcoming games like Bleach: Soul Resonance further highlight its enduring popularity.
