Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback in 2025 with Bendy: Lone Wolf. Building on the foundation laid by Boris and the Dark Survival, this new installment will be available on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam.
Remember the quirky survival horror that captivated the world in the mid-2010s? The episodic structure, rubber hose-style enemies, and captivating storyline of Bendy and the Ink Machine made it a phenomenon. Now, that unique blend of horror and charm is returning to mobile!
The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's top-down, isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous halls of Joey Drew Studios to survive.
The original Bendy and the Ink Machine, along with spin-offs Nightmare Run and Boris and the Dark Survival, are already available on mobile. Lone Wolf appears to draw heavily from Dark Survival, though its exact relationship remains unclear—a refined version, or a completely new experience?
Regardless, the Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise retains immense popularity, standing as a pioneer alongside Five Nights at Freddy's in the mascot horror genre.
Bendy: Lone Wolf's success will hinge on its evolution from its predecessor. While not the first isometric survival horror featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests significant improvements learned from the original mobile title, promising a potentially more terrifying experience.
