"Made in Abyss Universe Inspires First Mobile Game"

Avex Pictures has unveiled an exciting new venture for fans of the beloved series Made in Abyss—a mobile game titled "Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey." This marks the first time the story of the Abyss will be explored through a mobile gaming platform, adding another dimension to the franchise's already diverse media presence.

What’s the Scoop?

The announcement came with the launch of the game's official X account, signaling that fans can expect regular updates as the release date approaches. While details are still sparse, we know that "Made in Abyss: A Difficult and Mysterious Journey" will be a casual mobile game, available initially only in Japan for both Android and iOS devices. There has been no mention yet of plans for a global release, leaving international fans eagerly awaiting further news.

Dived into the Abyss Yet?

For those new to the series, Made in Abyss began 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 untold secrets. Riko's ambition is to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished into the depths of the Abyss.

Riko's 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 that they may never return. The manga's gripping narrative was adapted into an anime 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 universe of the Abyss.
