Bendy: Lone Wolf is another take on the Ink Machine franchise coming to mobile in 2025

Bendy and the Ink Machine is back on mobile! Get ready for Bendy: Lone Wolf, a new top-down survival horror experience arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025.

Remember the quirky horror of the original Bendy and the Ink Machine from the mid-2010s? Its episodic format, unique rubber hose enemies, and compelling story captivated players. Now, the franchise returns with a mobile focus.

The reveal trailer (see below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous Joey Drew Studios.

The Bendy franchise already boasts a mobile presence with the original game, Nightmare Run, and Boris and the Dark Survival. Lone Wolf appears to borrow heavily from Dark Survival, though its exact relationship to the latter remains unclear – a refined version or a completely new experience?

Regardless, Bendy and the Ink Machine maintains its popularity, a pioneer of mascot horror alongside Five Nights at Freddy's.

Bendy: Lone Wolf's success hinges on its execution. While not the franchise's first isometric survival horror title featuring Boris, its simultaneous release on Steam and Switch suggests significant improvements over its mobile predecessor. Expect something truly frightening.
