Bandai Namco has officially announced Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, an exciting new fighting game based on the iconic Bleach anime and manga franchise.

This announcement is sure to thrill fans of the series, marking the return of Bleach to home consoles with a 3D fighter designed for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.

A Promising New Entry

The announcement came during Anime Expo 2024, where Bandai Namco revealed Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, an arena fighter set in the world of the classic shonen series.

Players can look forward to engaging in intense, one-on-one battles featuring iconic characters such as Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, and Byakuya Kuchiki.

According to Bandai Namco, players will have the opportunity to “choose [their] favorite character” and utilize their unique sword skills to command “the flow of battle and find an opening that spells defeat for [their] enemies.”

Bandai Namco elaborates on this feature, stating, “the more desperate the situation, the more powerful [players] become.” This mechanic adds a layer of strategic depth to the game, where players can unlock “new forms and new blades” to turn the tide of battle and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

What’s Known and What’s Yet to Come

Bandai Namco has revealed that Bleach: Rebirth of Souls will support both local and online multiplayer for 1–2 players, enhancing the competitive experience.

However, the company has remained tight-lipped about a specific release date, simply stating that the game is “coming soon” to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Despite the lack of a firm launch window, the excitement surrounding the return of Bleach to consoles is noticeable.

A Long-Awaited Return

Bleach’s return to the console gaming scene is a significant event for fans who have been waiting since 2015 for a new home console game.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls aims to capture the essence of the beloved series, allowing players to step into the shoes of their favorite characters and relive iconic moments from the anime and manga.

As the release date approaches, fans can look forward to more details and previews, but for now, the anticipation continues to build.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or new to the world of Bleach, Rebirth of Souls promises to deliver an exhilarating gaming experience that will captivate and entertain.
