Bendy: Lone Wolf is another take on the Ink Machine franchise coming to mobile in 2025

Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf! Building on the gameplay established by Boris and the Dark Survival, this top-down isometric survival horror title arrives on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025.

Remember the quirky horror that swept the mid-2010s? Bendy and the Ink Machine's episodic structure, unique rubber hose-style enemies, and compelling narrative captivated players. Now, that experience is returning to mobile.

The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's gameplay, putting you in the shoes (paws?) of Boris the Wolf as he navigates 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 to the latter remains unclear – a definitive edition or a fresh take?

A New Inkling?

Regardless, the Bendy franchise retains significant popularity, emerging alongside other mascot horror games like Five Nights at Freddy's. Lone Wolf's success will hinge on its execution. While not the series' first isometric survival horror outing featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests lessons learned from previous mobile entries will culminate in a more terrifying experience.
