Bandai Namco has officially revealed BLEACH: Mirrors High, a new mobile game set to arrive on iOS and Android in summer 2026. Announced during Jump Festa 2026, the project has already generated excitement thanks to the direct involvement of Bleach creator Tite Kubo, who contributed to the title, scenario, and character designs.
Kubo himself confirmed he participated from the kickoff meeting, even designing more characters than initially requested, and oversaw auditions and recording sessions to ensure the cast matched his vision. Development-wise, Bandai Namco appears to be positioning Mirrors High as both a narrative-driven and collectible experience, similar to other anime-inspired mobile RPGs like Bleach: Brave Souls or Naruto X Boruto Ninja Tribes.
While details on gameplay remain limited, the teaser trailer highlights stylized combat sequences and character interactions that suggest a mix of action and gacha mechanics. Mirrors High arrives at a time when anime-based mobile games are thriving globally, with titles like Honkai: Star Rail and One Piece Bounty Rush dominating charts. Bandai Namco’s decision to launch worldwide reflects confidence in Bleach’s enduring popularity, especially as the anime’s Thousand-Year Blood War arc continues to attract new audiences.
Personally, the appeal lies in seeing Kubo’s direct creative involvement—something that often elevates adaptations beyond standard licensing projects. Regionally, Bandai Namco has confirmed a global release, with no restrictions announced. More info on their official X account.
