Game News Despite the failures of the latest manga adaptations, this cult anime never had the right to a next-generation video game, but that’s about to change!
Incidentally, there were a few things to remember from the Anime Expo 2024 that took place a few days ago. In the flood of announcements surrounding manga and Japanese animation, fans of Japanese pop culture were particularly happy to see the unveiling of this new adaptation of the Bleach manga. After thirteen long years of waiting, fans of Tite Kubo’s work had lost hope, but can now dream of a quality title!
Video games adapted from manga aren’t doing so well, but this Anime Expo announcement could change everything
A few days ago, the 2024 edition of the Anime Expo Convention took place in Los Angeles. For no less than four days, from July 4th to 7th, fans of Japanese pop culture, avid manga readers, consumers of animated films and series, and even fans of video games directly from the land of the sunny Levant had something to offer on site. Last year, for example, we discovered the first images of the fighting game Jujutsu Kaisen
We can’t say that adaptations of cult manga have been all the rage on video game shelves in recent months. In addition to Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Battle, What turned out to be worse than we dared to imagine, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Collections (Sorry for the long title) did not raise the level, as we appreciated that in our columns The title was far from the ultimate compilation we could have expected. Obviously, a form of distrust towards this type of production has become established, so much so that announcements of the genre are now received with some caution Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact. However…
Bleach fans have been waiting for a new game for 13 years and now it’s finally here!
As we saw at the last edition of Anime Expo, there may be a title that could restore the image of manga adaptations this lucky one would be none other than … Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, led by the developers of Tamsoft Corporation. Fans of Tite Kubo’s works are happy about this revelation, as the manga has not had any video game adaptations since Bleach: Brave Souls Translation (a free gacha) released on PC, PS4 and mobile in 2014, but especially since Bleach: Soul ResurrectionReleased on PS3 in 2011 ! Certainly there was the presence of Rukia, Ichigo and Aizen Jumping powerbut that doesn’t count!
THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD COMPETE WITH SPARKING ZERO!
BLEACH FANS ACTUALLY WON TODAY! THAT LOOKS AMAZING!

The most surprising thing is when you look at the list of games bleaching marketed in Europe, We are aware that the manga has not yet been adapted to new generation consoles. A mistake that the teams of Tamsoft Corporation want to correct, a name that fans of Japanese games know well, having worked on licenses that they value very much Senran Kagura, Captain Tsubasa and Oneechanbara. In short, we are cheering on social networks, even though we still don’t know much about this fighting game except for a few pictures, not even the release date. According to the official website, we can unleash the unique powers of our favorite hero’s sword, take part in exciting battles and even reverse the outcome of a fight… with a sword swing that can make all the difference.
