Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf, a new title arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025. Building upon the gameplay established by Boris and the Dark Survival, Lone Wolf promises an expanded experience.
Remember the quirky survival horror that captivated audiences in the mid-2010s? The episodic format, unique rubber-hose enemies, and compelling narrative made Bendy and the Ink Machine a phenomenon. Now, the franchise returns, including a mobile installment!
The reveal trailer (see below) showcases Lone Wolf's top-down, isometric perspective. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous Joey Drew Studios.
The original Bendy and the Ink Machine, along with 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—whether a definitive edition or a fresh interpretation—remains unclear.
Regardless, the Bendy franchise retains significant popularity. It's often cited among the pioneering mascot horror games, 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 previous mobile iterations will contribute to a potentially more terrifying experience.
