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 captivated the world in the mid-2010s? The episodic format, rubber-hose style enemies, and compelling story made Bendy and the Ink Machine a huge hit. Now, it's making a mobile comeback!
The reveal trailer (link below) showcases isometric gameplay where you play as Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous Joey Drew Studios. The original Bendy and the Ink Machine, along with spin-offs Nightmare Run and Boris and the Dark Survival (which Lone Wolf heavily resembles), are already available on mobile. Whether Lone Wolf is a definitive edition of Dark Survival or a completely new experience remains to be seen.
A New Chapter in Ink
Regardless, the Bendy franchise maintains considerable popularity, recognized as a pioneer of mascot horror games alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's. Lone Wolf's success will depend on its execution, as it's not the first isometric survival horror game featuring Boris. However, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests lessons learned from previous mobile iterations will translate into a more terrifying experience.
