Bendy and the Ink Machine is back on mobile with a new game: Bendy: Lone Wolf! This top-down survival horror title, arriving on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025, builds upon the gameplay established by Boris and the Dark Survival.
Remember the quirky horror that captivated gamers 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 returns to mobile platforms!
The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Lone Wolf's isometric gameplay. Players seemingly control Boris the Wolf, navigating the perils of 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 to the earlier title remains unclear – a refined version or a completely new experience?
Regardless, the Bendy franchise retains significant popularity, often cited as a pioneer of the mascot horror genre alongside Five Nights at Freddy's.
Lone Wolf's success hinges on its execution. While not the first isometric survival horror game featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests significant improvements over its mobile predecessor. Expect a more polished and potentially terrifying experience.
