Bleach fans can look forward to a second video game based on the popular manga and anime series, as Crunchyroll has announced Bleach: Soul Resonance. This new dive into the franchise is an action-RPG that features the Bleach cast as playable characters and combat where you directly control their blades. It’ll be launching later this year for iOS and Android mobile devices.
Developer Nuverse says that the game will feature “innovative” swordplay, as players can wield their blades against enemies by moving their fingers across the screen. Wherever your finger goes, the blade follows, and the developer says that each Zanpakuto sword has a unique feel to its design, just like the weapons seen in the anime. Switching between characters will also allow players to pull off powerful combos, and creating a versatile lineup to make the most of character synergies is another key gameplay element.
So far, it looks like the roster will include all the characters you’d expect from a Bleach game–from protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki to Soul Society captains like Byakuya Kuchiki and Kenpachi Zaraki–and pre-registration is now open for Bleach: Soul Resonance. If you’d prefer to play a game set in that universe of Soul Reapers and Hollows, you can grab Bleach: Rebirth of Souls on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 right now. The fighting game released earlier this year, and unlike your typical 3D arena-fighter anime game, this one features a layered and complex gameplay system that’s built around momentum and last-minute comebacks.
