Bandai Namco has announced the latest title joining the list of Bleach video games: Bleach Rebirth of SoulsIt is a 3D fighting game and will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Its release date is yet to be revealed.

In addition, Bandai Namco has also released the upcoming game’s first trailer. It shows the initial list of fan-favorite characters players can expect to see when the game releases. Included are Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Sado (Chad), Renji Abarai, and Byakuya Kuchiki.

In-game footage could also be seen in the two-minute clip. The gameplay features unique Zanpakuto sword-play action that are distinctive to Tite Kubo’s popular manga and anime series. Moreover, characters may be awaken to evolve and become more powerful. This could reverse tides on a desperate situation and have attention drawn until the last moment.

Players may even finish off opponents with a dramatic “one-hit kill” action. Now, that may sound unfair at first, but that’s accurate with Kubo’s creation. The game’s story, meanwhile, revolves around a high school student who becomes a Soul Reaper. In the process, the protagonist will encounter different beings and will develop his skills.

As this is the first title under the list of Bleach video games that is built partly for modern consoles, gamers can also expect the latest dynamic and animated graphics, on top of realistic gameplay. The soundtrack likewise includes a number of songs by Takeharu Ishimoto.
