Bendy Returns with 'Lone Wolf' for Mobile in 2025

Bendy and the Ink Machine is back on mobile with a new game, Bendy: Lone Wolf! Building on the formula 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 survival horror that swept the mid-2010s? The episodic structure, rubber hose-style enemies and environments, and captivating story made Bendy and the Ink Machine a huge hit. Now, the franchise returns to mobile!

The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's 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 to the latter—whether it's a definitive version or a completely new experience—remains unclear.

A New Inkling

Regardless, the Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise retains 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 hinges on its execution. While not the series' first foray into isometric survival horror featuring Boris, its simultaneous release on Steam and Switch suggests it will incorporate lessons learned from previous mobile iterations, potentially delivering an even more frightening experience.
