If you were a fan of the quirky survival horror game Bendy and the Ink Machine during its heyday in the mid-2010s, get ready for an exciting return! The beloved game, known for its episodic format, rubber hose-style enemies, and captivating storyline, is making a comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf, set to launch on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025.
The reveal trailer for Bendy: Lone Wolf (linked below) showcases gameplay in a top-down, isometric style, where players take on the role of Boris the Wolf. As one of the many cartoon characters brought to life by the infamous Ink Machine, Boris must navigate the perils of Joey Drew Studios. This new installment appears to build on the foundation laid by Boris and the Dark Survival, though it remains unclear whether Lone Wolf is a definitive version or a fresh take on the concept.
Inked off Regardless of its exact nature, the Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise has maintained its popularity since its initial release. It's often credited as part of the early wave of mascot horror games, alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's.
The success of Bendy: Lone Wolf will likely hinge on its execution. Given its release on multiple platforms, including Steam and Switch, it's poised to potentially refine the isometric survival horror experience introduced in the first mobile release, possibly offering an even more terrifying adventure.
