New Bleach Game Leaks Ahead of Reveal

by

A recently leaked trademark application by Japanese publishing company Shueisha has revealed the title of an upcoming Bleach video game, titled “BLEACH Mirrors High.” With minimal details available on the trademark page, eager fans have been left guessing and speculating about the nature of the game.

On the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) website, “BLEACH MIrrors High” is currently under review as an application pending approval, and it falls under Nice classifications 9 and 41. These categories denote the specific types of goods or services for which this trademark is being considered. Classes 9 and 41 are often connected to video games, particularly those that can be downloaded or offer online services, such as multiplayer modes or updates.

It’s worth noting that the filing lacks a Class 28 designation, which is often applied to categorize items related to games, such as hardware, consoles, and toys. The absence of this classification suggests it might be less likely for a Bleach game to appear on devices like arcade cabinets or pachinko machines.

It’s unfortunate that the submission of a trademark doesn’t give gamers a clear idea about when a possible launch might occur. The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) explains that the registration process is lengthy and may take multiple months to finish. Furthermore, simply because a game title has been trademarked, it doesn’t necessarily mean that its title won’t be altered, postponed, or even put on hold from its originally scheduled release date.

In the absence of detailed data, enthusiasts can solely rely on the game’s title to help them visualize its appearance as they anticipate its release.

The title itself suggests it’s like a mobile game, as mentioned by Reddit user iV1rus0. However, I’ve grown weary of 3D fighting games based on anime. Regardless, Rebirth of Souls, despite being from my favorite anime/manga, BLEACH, didn’t appeal to me. How about you create something fresh for a change?

Mentioning the word “High” in the title might lead some fans to associate it with the Persona series, suggesting a possible school-themed role-playing game in a comparable style.

Fans of Bleach speculated on the type of gameplay they might expect, using a method of deduction in the hope that it would offer something fresh compared to more modern releases.

The popular anime series “Bleach” boasts a thriving, regularly updated gacha game titled “Bleach: Brave Souls“. According to SensorTower statistics, the game generated more than $400,000 in income during June alone. In addition, another Bleach-themed gacha game called “Bleach Soul Resonance” is currently under development and is open for pre-registration.

Additionally, a 3D Bleach fighting game titled “Bleach: Rebirth of Souls” was launched on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox this year. It’s reasonable to assume that given its novelty, this game may cater to a distinct market, implying its genre could deviate from the ones we’ve seen before.

Shueisha Europe has applied for a trademark titled “BLEACH Rebirth of Souls”. This appears to be a computer or console video game, as similar ‘Nice classifications’ were also employed in applications for DB: Sparking Zero, One Piece Odyssey, and numerous others.

Back in 2023, I stumbled upon a leak of “Bleach: Rebirth of Souls” that bore the same classifications as “BLEACH Mirrors High”. If the timeline remains consistent for both releases, it seems like we fans might not be able to play this game until around 2027. The gameplay style isn’t yet unveiled, but the wait is worth it!

Are you curious about which kind of Bleach game we might see with this latest release? Could this be the year when Bleach gets a high-quality 2D fighting game suited for today’s gaming landscape?
