Bleach: The 3rd Phantom Haunts DS Owners This Fall

Like strategy RPGs? Like Bleach (the manga and not NaClO)? Then Bleach: The 3rd Phantom is the game for you. As we discovered earlier, Sega is localizing the text heavy game for North America and preparing it for a release this fall.

Bleach: The 3rd Phantom is a spin-off story that covers events before the manga starting with the Soul Reaper twins Fujimaru Kudo and his sister Matsuri Kudo. To prevent the plot from being a shoddy fanfic Tite Kubo, the creator Bleach supervised the story. Ichigo, Rukia, and Arturo, an Arrancar created specifically for Bleach: Shattered Blade, are some of the characters you encounter. Over fifty of them are playable.

Seems like Sega USA will continue to publish Bleach games. After Bleach: The 3rd Phantom there is a Treasure developed Wii fighting game and a Nintendo DS action game to look forward to.
