Avex Pictures has exciting news for fans of the "Made in Abyss" series, announcing the launch of a new mobile game titled "Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey." This marks the first time the beloved story, which has previously explored the depths of the Abyss through manga, anime, and a 3D action RPG, will be adapted into a mobile format. The game's announcement came with the launch of its official X account, which is expected to provide updates as the release date approaches.

While specific details about the gameplay remain under wraps, 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.

Diving into the Abyss

The "Made in Abyss" saga began as a manga in 2012, penned by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story centers around Riko, an orphaned girl residing in the town of Orth, which is situated around a colossal vertical chasm known as the Abyss. This mysterious pit is teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and an enigmatic allure that has claimed many explorers.

Riko aspires to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the depths of the Abyss. On her journey, Riko encounters Reg, a half-robot boy with no recollection of his origins. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the Abyss, fully aware that they might never resurface.

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 titled "Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness."
