BLEACH Mirrors High Closed Beta

What Is the BLEACH Mirrors High Closed Beta?

The BLEACH Mirrors High closed beta (CBT) is Bandai Namco Entertainment's first large-scale playtest for its upcoming mobile action RPG based on Tite Kubo's BLEACH universe. Unlike fan-made projects or unofficial Roblox experiences, Mirrors High is a fully licensed Bandai Namco title developed for iOS and Android smartphones. The CBT gives a limited group of players early access to core combat, story chapters, gacha systems, and multiplayer features before the global launch.

Bandai Namco announced the closed beta alongside the Anime Expo 2026 reveal, positioning it as a quality-focused test rather than a marketing stunt. Only 20,000 participants worldwide will be selected, making acceptance competitive. Selected testers will help validate server stability, balance feedback, localization quality across six supported languages, and device performance on a wide range of hardware.

This wiki tracks every official CBT detail so you can prepare your application, verify your phone meets requirements, and understand what content will be available during the test.

Key CBT Dates and Deadlines

Applications for the BLEACH Mirrors High closed beta close on July 12, 2026 at 7:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). After the deadline, Bandai Namco will review submissions and notify selected testers via email. The actual closed beta test runs from July 22 through July 29, 2026, giving participants roughly one week to explore the game and submit feedback through official channels.

These dates apply to the first global closed beta wave. Bandai Namco may announce additional test phases if needed, but no second CBT has been confirmed at this time. We maintain a full CBT Schedule breakdown with timezone conversions and milestone reminders. You can also use our CBT Countdown tool to track the application deadline and test start in your local time.

Because selection is limited to 20,000 accounts, applying early does not guarantee acceptance — Bandai Namco typically balances regions, device types, and player experience levels. Still, submitting a complete and accurate application before the deadline is essential. Incomplete forms or incompatible devices are the most common reasons for rejection.

What Content Will Be Available During CBT?

While Bandai Namco has not published a full content manifest, official trailers and press materials confirm that CBT players will experience the post-Thousand-Year Blood War original storyline featuring new protagonists Shirin Migishima and Shirane Sanari, both designed personally by Tite Kubo. Returning fan-favorite Soul Reapers including Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Byakuya Kuchiki, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Kisuke Urahara appear in confirmed key art and gameplay footage.

The full launch roster is expected to include 32 playable characters, though the CBT may restrict access to a subset for balance testing. Gacha summoning, character progression, and co-op or PvP modes — if enabled — will likely operate under test-economy rules with no guarantee that CBT progress carries over to the live game. Bandai Namco's official site at bleach-mh.bn-ent.net will publish any data-wipe or reward policies closer to the test window.

Testers should treat the CBT as an evaluation build: expect bugs, placeholder UI, and tuning changes between the test and launch. Feedback forms and in-game reporting tools are the primary way to influence final balance. Our Game Overview guide explains the broader vision for Mirrors High beyond the beta scope.

How to Prepare for the Closed Beta

Before applying, confirm your device meets the minimum specifications: iOS 17 or later with at least 4 GB RAM via TestFlight on iPhone, or Android 12 or later with at least 6 GB RAM via Google Play beta enrollment. Tablets are not supported for this test. Free storage of 4–6 GB is recommended for the download and cached assets.

Create or verify a Bandai Namco account tied to the email you will use on the application form. Enable notifications for TestFlight or Google Play beta invites so you do not miss acceptance messages. Read our How to Apply page for the full registration workflow, and bookmark the Active Codes page — while no redeemable codes exist yet, Bandai Namco may distribute CBT compensation codes after the test ends.

Finally, set realistic expectations: the CBT is a preview, not the finished product. Bandai Namco has invested in Kubo-supervised storytelling and high-production mobile combat, but polish, monetization details, and the exact release date will be finalized after tester feedback. Our Release Date hub collects all known launch information as it becomes available.
