Avex Pictures has just unveiled a thrilling new addition to the beloved Made in Abyss universe with the announcement of a mobile game titled Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey. This marks the first time the captivating story of the Abyss will be explored through a mobile gaming platform, following its successful ventures in manga, anime, and a 3D action RPG.
What’s the Scoop?
The game was introduced alongside the launch of its official X account, which is expected to provide regular updates as the release date approaches. While details are scarce, it's confirmed that Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey will be a casual mobile title, available initially on Android and iOS platforms, but only in Japan. There has been no mention yet of a global release.
Dived into the Abyss Yet?
For those new to the series, Made in Abyss originated as a manga in 2012, crafted by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story centers on Riko, a young orphan from the town of Orth, which is perched on the edge of the enigmatic Abyss—a vast, vertical chasm teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and a deep-seated mystery that consumes those who dare to explore it.
Riko's ambition is to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the Abyss. Her journey takes a pivotal turn when she encounters Reg, a mysterious half-robot boy with no recollection of his origins. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the Abyss, fully aware of the risks of never returning.
The manga's popularity led to an anime adaptation in 2017, followed by a sequel film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, released in Japan in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation released a console and PC RPG, Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, further expanding the franchise's reach.
