Bandai Namco will release the game in early 2025.
In the game, players use attacks to take down their opponent's Lingzhi. Breaking a gauge of Reishi will reduce the opponent's Konpaku, which is their health represented by nine bars. Players can use combos to kill multiple Konpaku and use counter actions while attacking and defending. The accumulated spiritual power allows the warrior to use Spiritual Pressure Movements, which then awakens and releases the Bankai.
The game's story and characters will include the original manga from the “Substitute Soul Reaper” arc to the “Arrancar” arc.
