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 top-down, isometric survival horror title promises an expanded experience.
Launching on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025, Lone Wolf seemingly casts you as Boris the Wolf, navigating the perilous halls of Joey Drew Studios. The reveal trailer (link below) showcases extensive gameplay.
The original Bendy and the Ink Machine, along with spin-offs Nightmare Run and Boris and the Dark Survival, are already available on mobile. While the exact relationship between Lone Wolf and Dark Survival remains unclear—whether it's a definitive edition or a fresh interpretation—it's certain to leverage lessons learned from previous mobile entries.
A Lasting Legacy
The Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise has maintained significant popularity since its debut, often cited alongside Five Nights at Freddy's as a pioneer of the mascot horror genre. The success of Lone Wolf will hinge 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 a refined and potentially more terrifying experience compared to its mobile predecessors.
