Bendy: Lone Wolf Unveiled for Mobile Release in 2025

Bendy and the Ink Machine is making a mobile comeback with Bendy: Lone Wolf! Building upon the gameplay established by Boris and the Dark Survival, this new title will launch on iOS, Android, Switch, and Steam in 2025.

Remember the quirky survival horror that captivated audiences in the mid-2010s? The episodic format, unique rubber hose-style enemies and environments, and compelling storyline made Bendy and the Ink Machine a massive hit. Now, it’s returning to mobile!

The reveal trailer (linked below) showcases Bendy: Lone Wolf's top-down, isometric perspective. 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 remains unclear – is it a definitive edition or a wholly new experience?

A Fresh Coat of Ink?

Regardless, the Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise retains significant popularity, standing as a prominent early example of mascot horror games alongside the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's.

Bendy: Lone Wolf's success hinges on its execution. While not the first isometric survival horror featuring Boris, its multi-platform release (including Steam and Switch) suggests learnings from the initial mobile iteration, potentially resulting in a more terrifying experience.
