Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf! Building upon the formula established by Boris and the Dark Survival, this new title expands the experience. Launching in 2025 across iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam, Lone Wolf promises a fresh take on the beloved franchise.
Remember the quirky survival horror that captivated audiences in the mid-2010s? The episodic structure, unique rubber hose-style enemies and environments, and compelling storyline made Bendy and the Ink Machine a phenomenon. Now, it's returning, including a mobile iteration!
The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Lone Wolf's top-down, isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous depths 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, although its exact relationship remains unclear—is it a definitive edition or a completely new experience?
A New Chapter in Ink
Regardless, the Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise maintains considerable popularity. It's often cited as a pioneer of the mascot horror genre, alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's.
Lone Wolf's success will hinge on its execution. While not the first isometric survival horror entry featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests lessons learned from the initial mobile release will be incorporated, potentially resulting in a more terrifying experience.
