Bleach: Mirrors High is an original-story smartphone game from Bandai Namco Entertainment, set after the events of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War. Coverage began with an overview trailer on July 18 that revealed three new characters designed by series creator Tite Kubo: Naru Jurinna, voiced by Fuka Izumi; Giro Hando, voiced by Shogo Batori; and Maiko Tokishima, voiced by Yu Sasahara. The trailer showed card-based battles, avatar and Zanpakuto customization, and a cooperative move called Soul Drive.

A closed beta test ran from July 22 to 29. A CBT report described the game's premise: players create an original Soul Reaper protagonist who loses their memories and re-enrolls at the Soul Reaper academy. The game uses customizable Soul Reaper avatars and three-character card battles. A system trailer followed, detailing protagonist appearance and name customization and Zanpakuto customization.

On August 29, Bandai Namco opened pre-registrations alongside two new short videos, with the game scheduled for release in 2026. The game is set for release on the App Store and Google Play. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, held from September 17 to 21, Bandai Namco exhibited the game at its booth, giving visitors a Zangetsu-shaped balloon and other novelties through trial play experiences and activities.

Character names differed between the July 20 trailer report (Naru Jurinna) and the July 21 report (Naru Jurina). The final TV anime cour, BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity Arc, began airing on July 25, 2026.
