BLEACH Mirrors High passes 1 million pre-registrations
Bandai Namco’s BLEACH Mirrors High passes one million pre-registrations, with launch rewards promised for players.
Bandai Namco says BLEACH Mirrors High has passed one million worldwide pre-registrations since registration opened in August. The officially licensed mobile game is scheduled to launch in 2026, with the US App Store currently listing an expected 28 November release date. 12
The launch rewards
Players who pre-register are promised a set of rewards when the game launches: 9,000 Mirror Gems, equivalent to 30 summons; three-star versions of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki; and five guaranteed summon tickets for characters rated three stars or higher. 2
The campaign is tied to the game’s official pre-registration listing, rather than a limited-time event inside a live game. Apple lists BLEACH Mirrors High as a free action title with in-app purchases, developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment. 2
A new Soul Reaper story
Set after the Thousand-Year Blood War, BLEACH Mirrors High follows a newly awakened Soul Reaper in Karakura Town. Players can customise the protagonist’s appearance and Zanpakuto before building a team of three for card-based battles, special moves and team-up Soul Drive attacks. 12
The game is being made in collaboration with BLEACH creator Tite Kubo, with new characters designed by Kubo alongside familiar faces including Ichigo and Rukia. The App Store listing also says the game uses voices from the original Japanese anime cast. 2
The current campaign does not mean the game is available to play yet. Bandai Namco’s announcement says the worldwide launch is planned for 2026, while the App Store’s 28 November date is an expected date and may still change. Readers should treat the pre-registration rewards as launch promises, not as content that can be claimed immediately. 12
Our opinion
One million pre-registrations is a meaningful early signal for a licensed mobile game, especially one arriving with a new protagonist rather than simply retelling Ichigo’s existing story. The custom Soul Reaper and Zanpakuto systems give BLEACH Mirrors High a clearer hook than a standard character-collection game, although the free-to-play structure and monthly premium pass mean the quality of its progression model will matter as much as the combat presentation. The launch rewards are generous on paper, but the real test will be whether the game’s original story and tactical battles can make that familiar BLEACH world feel worth returning to after the opening rush.
