Akihito Tsukushi's long-running manga and anime series Made In Abyss is coming to the Nintendo Switch, it has been confirmed by Spike Chunsoft, Inc.
Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness will also launch on the PlayStation 4 and Steam, and has been confirmed for North American and European release. In Europe, Numskull Games will also be releasing a physical version.
Tsukushi's manga has been running since 2012 and follows the story of an orphaned girl called Riko who befriends an android called Reg. The pair enter the titular 'Abyss' in the hope of finding her mother Lyza. An anime series arrived in 2017, which was edited into a movie in 2019. Early last year, an all-new movie hit Japanese cinemas, and a new anime series is also planned.
Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness follows the premise of the anime and manga series, with the player entering the Abyss and reliving the story, which takes place many days after Riko and Reg have entered the Abyss. However, it will also include an original story supervised by Tsukushi himself. Event scenes will be fully voiced by members of the anime cast.
Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness arrives in 2022. You can view the trailer for the 2017 anime series below.

My favourite anime getting a videogame. I still can't believe it. And season 2 is coming too! I need that physical version, to add to my Made in Abyss DVD and manga collection. And I want Kevin Penkin in the soundtrack, that would be amazing
OH MY GOD! YES PLEASE!
Honestly only heard good things about this anime. Still haven’t watched it though.
Thanks a lot. You just had to remind me of Mitty. Poor Mitty.
Love the Manga! Haven't gotten to watch the anime yet.
@nessisonett Haven't seen it myself, but I do know it gets really dark as the series goes on, kind of like Neon Genesis Evangelion.
@nessisonett It's amazing, my persona favourite. Maybe @DomGC 's comment can help you get an idea of what type of show is.
When I was watching this show, I thought it was just like an RPG-turned-anime. This is only fitting.
@AFernandes03 @DomGC Ah. Perhaps not for me then. I like Evangelion and Serial Experiments Lain but shows like Berserk just go a little too overboard for me.
@nessisonett I can't personally compare it to Berserk, since I never watched/read it, but yeah, it has some really, really dark, disturbing and depressing moments
@nessisonett
You sir have great taste.lain is a masterpiece
I hope it will be decent...at least it's not the usual fighting game.
I haven't read the manga nor watched the anime but I've heard good things about this series, sensitive content and all.
Part of me wishes they are faithful to the source material. The graphics look really pretty
Nice, will definitely check it out.
@DomGC I don't really watch a lot of anime, but what is it comparable to? What kind of messed up are we talking about?
Going to need to check out the series. It's available on Amazon Prime videos in Canada at least. Not sure if it's different.
@Octane not only has some really emotional moments, there are some scenes that show some disturbing body horror, most of them involving children. Not only that, but the sci-fi elements of the story are used to enhance the Lovecraftian horror aspect of the show, but explaining why would be a spoiler.
The anime is really good, and the few screenshots of the game looks promising, also, this came out of the blue and I'm excited.
@AFernandes03 I have to watch it, is it really THAT good?
Can't wait!I love the series.
@avictorao It's my favourite anime of all time, but that's my personal choice. If you don't take my word for it, well... it ano anime of the year in 2017 at the CR Anime Awards and it's one of the highest rated series on MAL. So, if that is relevant to you, I would say yes, it is a highly acclaimed anime. One thing is undeniable: it has one of the best soundtracks of all time, composed by Kevin Penkin
Agree with @nessisonett on this one. Body horror just isn't for me. I prefer quality content without disturbing my mind. And make no mistake; disturbia sits with you for a very long time, even if you are unaware of it, or think you are "tough enough" to handle it.
If there's a minigame for the scene that introduces Nanachi I'm out.
Also, elevator racing.
no thanks. I watched a few episodes of this anime and then had to shut it off. I found the portrayal of the 2 underage main characters extremely creepy.
Haven’t seen the anime, but it looks wonderful and fantastical. The game doesn’t look like my cup of tea, but the screenshots look beautiful.
@nessisonett The anime tones things down a bit, but Made in Abyss felt pretty fetishy to me. Little girls being strung up naked with ropes, lots of scenes involving body fluids, extreme body deformation, tons of innuendos, etc. All involving extremely young looking preteens, mind you. It's well beyond the usual sexualized depictions of young-ish characters you sort of become accustomed to as an anime fan.
It's a shame, because the worldbuilding really is strong, there's a captivating dark fantasy story at the center of it, and, in the anime, the environmental art is wonderful. It's atmospheric as well, and potently mixes together a sense of deep curiosity and even deeper dread as the main characters descend deeper and deeper into the abyss.
@Ralizah Ok yeah, definitely not for me then. You’ve painted quite a picture there 😂
I'm waiting for this!
(Played for 127 hours or more)
My brother loved the anime, so I'll definitely tell him about this.
I heard about the anime, but...I'm pretty sure people have said it's sad...and disturbing....has this one disturbing/horrid scene...and...yeah, never seen it. lol
Not my kind of stuff...
It's surprisingly not an anime I am familiar with. And I watch a lot of anime.
Might have to look this up sometime.
Just watched a little bit of the trailer. Not exactly a feel good romp.
@Ralizah Same here. I read a ton of manga and I couldn't bring myself to finish this one. Reeeeeally creepy vibes, and not in the way you'd hope from the horror stemming from honestly really cool worldbuilding. I don't need to see a full page spread of a nude 12 year old essentially in bondage as punishment for... whatever the hell minor thing she did. I noped out of the manga after that.
Like many on here I have heard of it but not seen it. I am partial to a fair bit of anime along with some manga myself. Interesting.
@nessisonett @Octane I would really urge you to give it a try. It felt really fresh when I watched it. It's like an old-school 70s/80s kids anime with its "lets go on an adventure!" vibe, but with some darker (okay, really dark) moments mixed in. Yet they all serve a purpose, and the emotional climax of Season 1 left me bawling my eyes out. It is an unforgettable experience.
@Octane @nessisonett It is pretty much a one way trip to hell. You get deceived by the cute art style and the horror gets more and more omnipresent with nasty injuries and horrible experiments. You will bite your nails with voice actors delivering a stellar performance. It's sometimes hard to watch but even harder to stop watching because everything else is great.
If you don't watch it, at least listen to the main theme: Hanezeve Caradhina by Kevin Penkin.
Couldn't get into the derpy child like characters. No go for the anime. Might make a good game tho. Nintendo loves to run with deformed characters anyways.
The screenshots don't look particularly great, but it could be fun depending on how they structure it. Would love to fight an Orb Piercer at the Goblet of Giants.
I'm way more interested in Season 2 though, to be honest. This is also really good timing for that announcement since I watched the movie less than a week ago.
One of the best shows on VRV.
@Ulysses it's not that bad. I handled it quite well. Give it a try
@Fighter_Hayabusa how? This series has like no ecchi. How was it creepy?
