Fans of Tite Kubo’s BLEACH have waited years for a modern, high-quality adaptation that captures the rush of its sword fights and it looks like that wait is nearly over. BLEACH: Soul Resonance, a 3D action RPG based on the beloved anime and manga, is officially coming to western territories later this year, with Crunchyroll Games handling publishing in English-speaking regions.

A faithful recreation of the Soul Society

Developed by Nuverse and A PLUS JAPAN, Soul Resonance promises fast, fluid combat and cinematic visuals that stay true to the source material. Players will be able to switch between characters mid-battle, chaining together flashy combo attacks that reflect the unique powers and personalities of Ichigo, Rukia, and the rest of the BLEACH cast.

Early footage shows familiar settings like Karakura Town and the Seireitei, recreated in full 3D. There’s a clear emphasis on both spectacle and authenticity every swing of a zanpakutō looks and sounds like it came straight from Studio Pierrot’s animation desk.

Global launch this November

According to multiple reports, the game will arrive globally on November 21, 2025, for iOS and Android devices. It’s being distributed through Crunchyroll Games in regions such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, while A PLUS JAPAN will oversee launches in parts of Europe and the Middle East.

Pre-registration is already live across app stores, and early sign-ups will receive several in-game bonuses, including summon tickets, upgrade materials, and a mystery character card once global milestones are met.

Crunchyroll’s growing game push

This is the latest in a growing lineup of anime-based titles under the Crunchyroll Games label, joining releases like One Punch Man: World and Street Fighter: Duel. For BLEACH fans, though, Soul Resonance might be the one that finally nails the balance between gameplay depth and anime authenticity.

The combat system has drawn comparisons to console-quality action games, with responsive dodges, parries, and super moves that let players unleash each character’s iconic Bankai. Combined with full Japanese voice acting and striking cel-shaded visuals, the game feels positioned as both a nostalgia trip and a genuine action experience.

A new chapter for a classic series

With the Thousand-Year Blood War anime still running strong, Soul Resonance lands at the perfect moment. It’s part celebration, part continuation a chance for fans to step directly into the world they’ve watched for two decades.

If all goes as planned, BLEACH: Soul Resonance will make its global debut in late November, and for many long-time fans, it could be the definitive way to experience Ichigo’s journey once again this time, with blade in hand.
