BLEACH Mirrors High: October 28 Launch, Combat and Aizen Explained
BLEACH Mirrors High is dated for October 28 UTC, playable after maintenance. Check official downloads, ten new Soul Reapers, card combat and Aizen’s banner.
— Checked the publisher’s UTC launch notice, October 28 English roster, Japanese briefing and official store listings. Maintenance completion and an exact unlock hour remain unverified.

Bandai Namco has dated BLEACH Mirrors High for October 28, 2026 (UTC) on iOS and Android, with play beginning after maintenance. Its official launch notice supports pre-downloading, but gives no exact unlock hour.
Maintenance completion and current server access have not been verified for this report. A downloadable client is not proof that the game is playable. The publisher directs players to the official English X account for maintenance-end information.
Where can you download BLEACH Mirrors High?
| Platform | Official listing |
|---|---|
| iPhone / iPad | App Store — US listing |
| Android | Google Play |
Both identify Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. as the publisher. The game is free to download with in-app purchases, including random-item purchases. Storefront availability and device support can vary; the checked US listing does not establish access in every country. Consult your regional store page before installing.
How does the combat work?
The official store description presents squad battles built around three systems:
- Three-character teams: assemble and command a squad of three fighters.
- Attack Cards: combine card choices during the action-oriented battles.
- SOUL DRIVE: trigger coordinated combo attacks with your team.
You also create your own Soul Reaper, customizing their appearance and Zanpakutō. The publisher describes an original game story set after the Thousand-Year Blood War, with familiar characters including Ichigo and Rukia and voices from the Japanese anime cast.
This is a description of the announced systems, not a hands-on assessment. Kubo’s involvement and the post-war setting do not by themselves settle questions about the game’s canon status. Our BLEACH anime-finale coverage addresses the television ending separately.
Which ten new Soul Reapers were revealed?
The October 27 Japanese briefing unveiled ten additional Tite Kubo-designed trainee Soul Reapers. Bandai Namco’s October 28 English roster page confirms their spellings:
Hachirota Rohbe, Tasuku Nimura, Kuon Hoshimura, Ibuki Kajimaru, Mizuki Gandera, Daikaku Sohaji, Tamesu Gocho, Kanuka Sanakura, Seishiro Ginza and Soyogi Sukenaga.
They join the previously revealed Shirin Migishima, Shirane Sanari, Giro Hando, Maiko Tokishima and Naru Jurinna. That makes 15 original characters in the current presentation; all 15 were not newly unveiled on October 27.
The official opening animation below is by PIERROT FILMS, with “CRITICAL” by suisoh. The music credits name suisoh and Takahiro Yamada for arrangement. Its release is separate from the game’s server-opening status.
Is Aizen a free launch giveaway?
The Japanese publisher announcement confirms Sōsuke Aizen’s [天に立つ] version for the first limited gacha after service begins. That is a banner announcement, not a promise that every player receives Aizen.
It lists November 24 as the planned end date in the Japanese notice. A precise global end time, regional banner terms and pull rates have not been verified here. Use the applicable in-game notice for those details; do not infer them from the game’s October 28 release date.
