Bendy and the Ink Machine is back on mobile! Bendy: Lone Wolf, a new top-down survival horror game, is slated for release in 2025 across iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam.
Remember the quirky horror of the original Bendy and the Ink Machine? Its episodic format, unique art style (think rubber hose animation), and compelling story captivated players in the mid-2010s. Now, the franchise returns with a new mobile entry, building upon the mechanics of Boris and the Dark Survival.
The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases gameplay as Boris the Wolf, navigating the treacherous Joey Drew Studios. While Lone Wolf draws heavily from Boris and the Dark Survival, its exact relationship to the previous mobile title remains unclear – is it a definitive edition or a completely new experience?
The Bendy franchise, a pioneer of mascot horror alongside Five Nights at Freddy's, maintains significant popularity. The success of Bendy: Lone Wolf will hinge on its execution. While not the first isometric Bendy survival horror featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests a refined and potentially more frightening experience compared to its predecessor.
