Bendy and the Ink Machine is back on mobile with a new game, Bendy: Lone Wolf! This top-down survival horror title, arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025, builds upon the formula established by Boris and the Dark Survival.
Remember the quirky survival horror that swept the mid-2010s? Bendy and the Ink Machine's episodic structure, unique rubber hose enemies and environments, and captivating storyline made it a hit. Now, it's returning to mobile!
The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perils of Joey Drew Studios.
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 borrow heavily from Dark Survival, though its exact relationship remains unclear – is it a definitive edition or a fresh take?
A New Inkling?
Regardless, the Bendy franchise maintains significant popularity. It's considered a key title in the early wave of mascot horror games, alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's.
Bendy: Lone Wolf's success will likely depend on its execution. While not the first isometric survival horror game featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests lessons from the initial mobile entry have been applied to create something even more frightening.
