Official Developer Half-Anni Q&A
via Bleach Soul Resonance official Facebook page
To mark this special occasion, our developer, Scar, is joining us for an exclusive face-to-face session to share insights and answer some of the most-asked questions from the community.
Q: With Grimmjow joining as an SR+ character, can we expect SSR+ characters in the future?
Scar: Thank you for your interest in the characters. Currently, we have no plans to introduce SSR+ characters.
We want characters of all rarities to provide unique value in their respective roles and playstyles. Therefore, our current focus is on balancing the existing character system and optimizing the growth experience. We will continue to bring you a richer combat experience through character mechanics, lineup compositions, and gameplay content.
Please stay tuned to our official notices and social media for future updates."

Q: Will the maximum Stamina limit be increased? Or will there be more ways to obtain Stamina in the future?
Scar: Regarding Stamina, we currently have no plans to permanently increase the ways to obtain it or raise the maximum limit.
However, in upcoming events, we will continue to provide small amounts of Stamina items to help enhance your experience during event periods. We will also continue to monitor feedback regarding Stamina consumption and the overall gameplay pace to evaluate future adjustments.

Q: The current gameplay feels a bit repetitive. Are there plans to improve this? Such as adding open-world exploration?
Scar: We currently have no plans to develop open-world-style gameplay. However, we will continue to enrich our existing content and introduce different forms of combat experiences and mechanics to ensure a diverse journey through character growth and challenges.
We will also explore more interesting gameplay directions based on your feedback. Please stay tuned for future updates!

Q: Do you plan to add controller support for iOS and Android? This is a vital feature for the full game experience.
Scar: Thank you for your suggestions regarding the control experience.
Currently, we do not have plans to add controller support for iOS and Android.
Our team's current priority is the ongoing optimization of existing touch controls, gameplay content, and version features.
However, we have received a lot of feedback regarding controller compatibility. We will continue to monitor this demand and evaluate it alongside our actual development roadmap.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Q: Please answer this one: How did you first come up with the idea for this game? As developers, what problems or challenges did you face during development?
Scar:
Thank you for this question! We are happy to share the story behind the game.
The decision to create this game came from the fact that many of our team members are fans of [BLEACH].
Whether it was the character writing, the combat, or the atmosphere of passion and bonds, the series left a profound impression on us.
We have always wanted to use the medium of gaming to let everyone relive the excitement of seeing a "Bankai" for the first time.
During development, we faced many challenges. For instance, how to faithfully recreate original characters, classic scenes from the anime, and the sheer impact of Ultimate moves.
We also worked hard to balance the thrill of combat with smooth controls, ensuring each character retains their original personality while having a distinct tactical role. Furthermore, as the game grows, we are constantly thinking about how to optimize gameplay variety, growth pacing, and the long-term experience.
While there were many difficulties, seeing your support, discussions, and love for the characters and story keeps us determined to make the game the best it can be.
We will continue to work hard to bring you more interesting content and a better gaming experience. Thank you for being with us!

Q: Will characters from the light novels appear in the future? For example, Ikomikidomoe, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, or Soya Azashiro?
Scar:
Thank you for your anticipation regarding the [BLEACH: Soul Resonance] characters.
We currently have no plans to add characters from the light novels. As such, characters like Ikomikidomoe, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, and Soya Azashiro will not be appearing in the game at this stage.
If there are any new collaboration characters or plans in the future, we will share the news immediately via official notices and social media.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Q: Regarding the Main Story... what's the situation? When can we expect new story updates?
Scar: Thank you for your patience regarding the Main Story.
Regarding story updates, because the content requires approval from the IP holders and involves supervision and adaptation across multiple languages, the overall production and launch cycle is relatively long. This has unfortunately led to gaps between story updates that have affected your experience, for which we sincerely apologize.
The team is still pushing forward with the development and supervision of future story content. We hope to deliver a more complete and high-quality story experience while ensuring total faithfulness to the original work.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.

Q: Do you plan to add features for in-game trading or gifting in future events? For example, a feature where Guild members can request an item, and others can send it directly.
Scar: Thank you for your suggestions regarding social and Guild interaction.
We are currently planning functional designs in this direction. In the future, we will add item assistance and resource support mechanics for certain gameplay modes to further enhance player interaction and cooperation.
However, the specific form and scope of these features are still in the evaluation and design phase. Once there is a formal launch plan, we will sync it with you via official notices.
Thank you for your feedback!

Q: Are there any plans for collaborations with other anime or games? (One of my favorites is Honkai: Star Rail; I'd love to see a collab!)
Scar: Thank you for your suggestions regarding collaborations!
We are actively exploring the possibilities of various partnerships and collaborations, though we have no formal arrangements to announce at this stage.
We have seen many players mentioning titles they hope to see, whether anime or other popular games, and we are paying close attention to your passion. If a suitable collaboration is confirmed in the future, we will share the news immediately.
Please look forward to it, and thank you all for your ongoing support!

Q: Will you add characters from the [BLEACH] movies?
Scar: Thank you for your interest in the [BLEACH] movie characters.
Due to current licensing constraints, we are temporarily unable to create characters from the [BLEACH] movies, so there are no development plans for them at this stage.
However, the team will continue to focus on characters and content within our current licensed scope to provide a rich experience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Q: Is a PvP mode possible in the future? Are you currently developing one?
Scar: We currently have no plans to develop a PvP mode.
However, the team is developing more competitive and challenging content, hoping to let everyone enjoy the fun of strategy, cooperation, and growth in different ways.
Should there be any updates regarding such gameplay, we will announce them through official channels immediately. Thank you for your suggestions!
