This marks the first time the beloved story will be experienced on mobile devices, expanding its reach beyond manga, anime, and the existing 3D action RPG.
What’s the Scoop?
The announcement of "Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey" came with the launch of the game’s official X account, which promises to keep fans updated as the release date approaches. While details are scarce, it's confirmed that the game will be a casual mobile title, available on Android and iOS. However, it will initially be released only in Japan, with no news yet on a global launch.
Dived into the Abyss Yet?
For those new to the series, Made in Abyss began as a manga by Akihito Tsukushi in 2012, serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story follows Riko, a young orphan in the town of Orth, which encircles a vast, mysterious vertical hole called the Abyss. This enigmatic chasm is filled with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and a deep-seated mystery that consumes those who dare to explore its depths. Riko, inspired by her mother Lyza—a legendary White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished in the Abyss—embarks on a perilous journey with Reg, a half-robot boy with no recollection of his past. Together, they venture into the unknown, fully aware they might never return.
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," further expanding the franchise's universe.
