Released exclusively in Japan on September 27, 2007, for the PlayStation 2, Bleach: Blade Battlers 2nd is the sequel to SCEI’s arena fighter. Unlike the more technical Heat the Soul series on PSP or the 2D fighter Bleach: Dark Souls on DS, Blade Battlers 2nd is a fast-paced, 3D arena brawler reminiscent of Power Stone or Anarchy Reigns.
