A new fast-paced sword-fighting action game based on Bleach, Bleach: Soul Resonance, has been announced, with its trailer showing cinematic moments and over-the-top attacks!

Bleach: Soul Resonance is being developed by Black Moon Studio (the name taken from Ichigo’s signature move, the Getsugatensho) and looks like it will chronicle at least the first 3 narrative arcs of Bleach, showing the acquiring of Ichigo’s Soul Reaper powers and his journey to the Soul Society to rescue a friend.

A letter from the team behind Bleach: Soul Resonance

“Hello everyone, thank you very much for your attention to Bleach: Soul Resonance! This is Black Moon Studio (the project team of Bleach: Soul Resonance). The name Black Moon is taken from the Getsugatensho. We pride ourselves as a master blacksmith who forges swords and sharpens the Zanpakuto called Bleach: Soul Resonance.

When thinking about the gameplay design of Soul Resonance, we aim at giving everyone a more immersive experience and a unique taste of what’s special about this game. Therefore, “the plot experience method of 3D theater performance and the core gameplay of sword action” outlines the basics of Bleach: Soul Resonance.

Once the tone is set, we tried to innovate the gameplay based on Zanpakuto and the differences between users—conveying the message behind every character and storyline, bringing the experience of realistic sword fights and cold steel, and enabling all action game users to get started easily. Like Ichigo Kurosaki and Byakuya Kuchiki said when they fought each other, “Neither of us… has much strength left. Let the next clash… …decide this battle…” It also seems to be singing the release chant of different Zanpakutos, “Shatter… …Kyokasuigetsu. ” “Like dust in the wind. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. ” “All things of this world, turn to ashes… Ryujinjakka.” The purpose is that everyone can experience the unique charm of this sword action game, whether they are into BLEACH. With every interaction, they can indulge in the emotions intertwined with righteous ardor and romance! In terms of forging the core gameplay, we believe that audio, special effects, and feedback are the three most critical parts if we want to achieve the best sword-fighting experience. When it comes to audio, things can range from the release of Zanpakuto, to the sound effect feedback of each slash, to some sound effect details.

We also do our best to reduce the sense of delay. We have iterated, retouched, and extended the timing of the in-game sword fighting so that high-level players get to enjoy an exciting experience while novice players won’t have a hard time playing the game. In addition to the combat feedback, we are also working on innovations centered around the game’s playability and strategies. If you have any ideas and suggestions, you can reach out to us here.

The members of Black Moon Studio are all huge fans of BLEACH. We are very happy to make games for your favorite anime. We hope to be recognized by everyone who likes BLEACH and see more players learn the story and spirit behind as this game grows on them. We have been playing this project very close to our chest, and it needs to be polished before its official launch. In the near future, the game will carry out multiple rounds of testing events, and we will also invite everyone to join us and forge our own Bleach: Soul Resonance together.

Before you go back to forging swords, heed this, ‘We aspire to become the Soul Reaper who protects the world of the Soul Society. The blade in your hand is growling. Do you feel the spiritual pressure that I have suppressed for a long time? Bankai!'”
