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 with Bendy: Lone Wolf! This new title, arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025, builds upon the gameplay established by Boris and the Dark Survival.

Remember the quirky survival horror that captivated players in the mid-2010s? The episodic structure, unique rubber hose-style enemies and environments, and compelling storyline made Bendy and the Ink Machine a massive hit. Now, the franchise is returning to mobile platforms!

The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's top-down, isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control 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, 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 interpretation?

A New Chapter in Ink

Regardless, the Bendy franchise maintains significant popularity. It's often cited as a pioneering title in the mascot horror genre, alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's.

Bendy: Lone Wolf's success will depend on its execution. While not the series' first isometric survival horror featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests lessons learned from previous mobile iterations will create a more frightening experience.
