BLEACH: Mirrors High opens pre-registration with Ichigo, Rukia rewards

What's actually going on:Bandai Namco Entertainment’s official global site announced pre-registration on Aug. 29, 2026, with rewards tied to the total number of sign-ups. The campaign’s 500,000-registration target awards three-star versions of Ichigo and Rukia, alongside 15,000 Mirror Gems, according to Anime Corner’s report. The official announcement points players to the game’s global X and Facebook accounts for further reward updates, so the published milestone is not necessarily the final haul.

The new video is titled “Byakuya / Toshiro / Mayuri Ver.” and gives a short look at combat while spotlighting original protagonists Shirin Migishima and Shirane Sanari.¹ Tite Kubo created their original character designs and is credited with production cooperation, character concept and character design.¹ The official site describes the game as an original story set after the Thousand-Year Blood War, with three-character teams, attack-card choices, animated Mortal Blows and coordinated “Soul Drive” attacks.³

Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. is the named developer on both the US App Store and Google Play listings, while no separate external development studio is identified in the official materials checked.⁴⁵ The confirmed platforms are iPhone/iPad via the App Store and Android via Google Play; the official site lists both, notes that some devices are unsupported, and describes the game as free to download with in-game purchases and loot boxes.³ The English-language site, “global” social accounts and “WW” pre-registration link indicate a worldwide campaign, but Bandai Namco has not published a territory-by-territory launch schedule.

The release timing needs one small asterisk. Anime Corner and Bandai Namco’s official site say 2026, while the US App Store listing currently gives an expected date of Nov. 28, 2026.¹²⁴ That store date is marked as expected, not a firm global launch confirmation, so treat it as a useful signal rather than a promise carved into a Zanpakuto.

Our opinion

BLEACH: Mirrors High has a better hook than a routine mobile retread: it places an original story after the Thousand-Year Blood War and lets players build a custom Soul Reaper. The pre-registration rewards are a sensible way to get fans involved, but they do not answer the important questions about combat depth, monetisation or long-term value. The verdict is pre-register if you are curious, then wait before spending. Bandai Namco’s loot-box model deserves scrutiny, and the unconfirmed global launch timing means the reward counter is currently more reliable than the release plan.
