Bendy and the Ink Machine is back, and this time it's coming to mobile! Bendy: Lone Wolf, a new top-down survival horror game, is slated for release on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025.
Fans of the original episodic horror game will remember its unique blend of rubber hose-style enemies, unsettling environments, and a captivating storyline. Lone Wolf appears to build upon the gameplay mechanics established in Boris and the Dark Survival, placing players in the role of Boris the Wolf as he navigates the perilous halls of Joey Drew Studios.
The original Bendy and the Ink Machine, along with its spin-offs Nightmare Run and Boris and the Dark Survival, are already available on mobile. While the exact relationship between Lone Wolf and Dark Survival remains unclear – whether it’s a definitive edition or a completely new experience – it promises a fresh take on the franchise's isometric survival horror formula.
The Bendy franchise's enduring popularity is undeniable, cementing its place alongside other iconic mascot horror titles like Five Nights at Freddy's. The success of Bendy: Lone Wolf will depend on its execution, but its multi-platform release suggests a significant investment and potential for a more polished and terrifying experience than its mobile predecessor.
