Yeah, but it pretty much got dropped for a while after setting up the reason for you to go into all the other FFs. Upcoming update in Japan will be continuing it though.

MONTHLY CHALLENGE DUNGEONS
There will be a new type of dungeon (probably to occupy that "Coming soon..." block on the main homepage) called 深淵の間, roughly "Chamber of the Abyss". These are dungeons that carry particularly strong bosses, and will only be available for a period of time each month. There will be twelve of these, so the game will cycle through them throughout the year.
These dungeons will actually address the main story of the game (remember that?) about the mysterious force messing with the memories of each FF story. Dr. Mog found the Chamber of the Abyss that contains twelve sealed memories of some power, and he theorizes that unlocking them all will give more answers about the reason the various story memories are disappearing.
What's more, it appears that details of the first Abyss dungeon are also available!
NEW CHAMBER OF THE ABYSS DUNGEON: MEMORY OF ULTIMA
As usual muketsu has some of the data for this new dungeon. The most important features are that it adds a 6* Black Magic ability, Ultima!
First, you have to clear the last stage in this challenge dungeon "Ultima Buster", which will unlock the "Memory of Ultima". This will allow you to craft Ultima, but you still have to gather 6* materials. These materials are available through the Abyss dungeons as well as clear rewards for events going forward.
This dungeon also has a stage "Liquid Flame", clearing that will grant a 6* accessory "Bracelet of Thunder" which has large lightning-damage reduction.
The first four stages will feature Record Synergy (drawn out of the original realms?). The last stage does not have RS, but instead will have the "Power of the Abyss". The "Power of the Abyss" works similarly to RS but instead of being bound by series, it is bound to specific characters. Based on the characters seen on the event banner, it appears that for this dungeon the Power of the Abyss characters will be Terra, Golbez, Lulu, and Vivi (there might be more that aren't represented on the banner, but this is not known). Not only do these characters get a RS -type bonus for the last stage, but if you clear the last stage, all of these characters will have their Black Magic 5* upgraded to Black Magic 6*!
