Bleach Announces New Video Game, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls

Bleach is set to play a big role at this year's Anime Expo , mostly thanks to a massive preview focusing on the Thousand-Year Blood War . Aiming to release the third part of the latest anime storyline, the fight against Yhwach and the Sternritter isn't the only surprise that Ichigo Kurosaki and the Soul Society had in store. For the first time since 2015 , it appears that Bleach is heading back to consoles as Bandai Namco has shared a new preview for its next video game entry, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls .

Much like some of its fellow shonen franchises including Dragon Ball, One Piece, My Hero Academia , and Naruto, Bleach has quite a history in the video game medium. The first game following the Shinigami was Bleach: Heat The Soul which landed on the PlayStation Portable in 2005. Since that initial outing, Bleach games have hit consoles, personal computers, and mobile devices quite frequently. Thanks in part to the latest anime adaptation, there's a serious groundswell to place players into the shoes of the Soul Society.
