Spike Chunsoft has released details about their upcoming release of Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness. This 3D Action RPG will feature two different modes of play, the first being HELLO ABYSS. This mode will allow players to relive the story of the epic anime, and everything is fully-voiced by the anime cast. Here players will learn the basics of the game and how to progress. Riko and Reg will face many dangers as they journey downward into the giant whole called the Abyss!

The second game mode is called DEEP IN ABYSS. Here players will control a their own original Cave Raider to challenge the depths of the Abyss. This mode features an original story supervised by series author, Akihito Tsukushi. You will even encounter some characters featured in the manga! This original Cave Raider can be customized with different hairstyles and facial features. By completing missions and bringing back relics from the Abyss, players can increase their rank as a Cave Raider and challenge deeper levels of the Abyss.

Here is more about the Crafting System and the “Curse of the Abyss” straight from the press release:

Introduction to Part of the Game System: Crafting Items and “The Curse of the Abyss”
Exploring the Abyss requires a variety of tools, sufficient food, and more. Items can be crafted from a variety of materials obtained through exploration, and range from tools such as climbing axes and fishing rods to food, medicine, and clothing.
In the game, due to weight restrictions for gear, it is also important to procure items locally through crafting, rather than bringing them in from town.
“The Curse of the Abyss” a characteristic element of the original story, is also recreated in the game. “The Curse of the Abyss” is a phenomenon in which the deeper one goes, their body experiences more severe strains when returning to the surface, causing various physical and mental disorders

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness comes out this fall for PlayStation 4, Steam and Nintendo Switch. The standard edition of the game will set you back $59.99 or you can get a fancy Limited Edition for $89.99
