- Bleach: Brave souls is hosting another in-game event
- This time it’ll mark the newest part of the Thousand-year Blood War arc broadcasting
- New versions of Giselle, Baimbietta and Cirucci are set to debut
Bleach: Brave Souls, the hit spin-off game from the iconic Shonen series, is set to hold a special in-game event to celebrate the newest airing of the franchise’s anime. Bleach: Thousand-year Blood War is a sequel arc that helped kickstart a newfound interest in the work of Tite Kubo, and also brought fans flocking back to Bleach: Brave Souls.
To celebrate part two of the anime, The Conflict, being broadcast on Japanese television, new versions of the series’ characters will be debuting in-game. The Quincies Giselle Gewelle, Bambietta Basterbine and Cirucci will all see new five-star versions that fans can start collecting starting today!
The Anime Broadcast Special event meanwhile will run from Halloween until November 15th, with an increased draw-rate for five-star characters and guaranteed summons for each of the featured characters. Naturally, there are also a few free summons and other small gifts sprinkled in there to boot.
That’s a lot of blood
Given that Bleach was one of the “big three” when I was growing up, it did surprise me to see it make such a comeback. After Tite Kubo seemingly stepped back from making manga, the roaring return of the Shinigami as they square off with the previously only vaguely alluded-to villains the Quincy (intimidating name, I know) has jumpstarted interest in the franchise and even boosted Bleach: Brave Souls to 95 million downloads.
And if you’re looking to jump in and see what all the hype is about, or you’re a Bleach fan who simply hasn’t taken the plunge, why not take a gander at our Bleach: Brave Souls tier list to get an idea of where to start?
