Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf, a new title arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025. Building upon the gameplay established in Boris and the Dark Survival, Lone Wolf offers a top-down, isometric survival horror experience.
Remember the quirky charm of the original Bendy and the Ink Machine? Its episodic structure, unique rubber hose-style enemies, and captivating storyline captivated players in the mid-2010s. Now, that same unsettling atmosphere returns, this time on mobile devices.
The reveal trailer (link below) showcases gameplay featuring Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous halls of Joey Drew Studios. While Lone Wolf draws heavily from Boris and the Dark Survival, its exact relationship to the earlier mobile title remains unclear – is it a definitive edition or a completely new experience?
Regardless, the Bendy franchise maintains significant popularity, considered a pioneer in the mascot horror genre alongside Five Nights at Freddy's. The success of Bendy: Lone Wolf will hinge on its execution. While not the first isometric Bendy survival horror game starring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests a refined and potentially more terrifying experience than its predecessor.
