A spin-off from the main narrative, BLEACH: The 3rd Phantoms exclusive storyline has been created from the ground up under the supervision of Tite Kubo, the author and creator of BLEACH.

The two lead characters offer completely unique gameplay experiences, as well as the chance to work cooperatively towards achieving their ultimate moves. With a further cast of over fifty characters who can be selected to join the battle, users will discover a wide range of dynamic personalities as they journey through the game. Interactive in-game dialogue sequences will allow gamers to manage personal relationships with the characters and even unlock new ones. As players fight against the Arrancar and Hollows, they will gain experience to further customise their abilities. Utilising each characters unique skills and strengths, players will be able to adapt to any situation as they create and command an army of up to eight Soul Reapers. BLEACH: The 3rd Phantom employs a traditional Strategy RPG gameplay format with an added bonus of anime styled combat during in-game battles.
