The CBT report confirms the game's premise as an original story set after the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, letting players live as a Soul Reaper rather than retread existing episodes.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Bandai Namco Entertainment ran a closed beta test for the smartphone game BLEACH Mirrors High, set after the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. The CBT let players experience the early story, battles, and customization of avatars and Zanpakuto. Players create an original Soul Reaper protagonist who loses memories and re-enrolls at the Soul Reaper academy.
The closed beta test for BLEACH Mirrors High opened with an anime cutscene of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki clashing with their Bankai, then shifted to the player character, Shirin Migishima or Shirane Sanari, awakening in Karakura Town. Soul Reaper trainees Naru Jurinna, Giro Hando, and Maiko Tokishima arrive for field training, and the protagonist gains powers after they stab a Zanpakuto into their chest, mirroring how Ichigo became a substitute Soul Reaper.
The story continues in the Soul Society, where the protagonist reunites with the character they did not choose and learns they were originally a Soul Reaper who lost their memories. The game is set after the Thousand-Year Blood War arc and covers what happened after that battle, with Tite Kubo involved as production collaborator and character designer.
