What’s the Scoop?
The game was introduced alongside the launch of its official X account, which is expected to provide updates as the release date approaches.

Dived into the Abyss Yet?
The *Made in Abyss* saga began in 2012 as a manga by Akihito Tsukushi, 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 aspires to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the Abyss.
During her journey, Riko 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 that they might never make it back.
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*.
