It always seemed inevitable that players would return to the studio after the nightmares of Bendy and The Ink Machine. Following the announcement of Bendy and The Dark Revival this past April, developer Kindly Beast has finally released the first gameplay trailer. Check it out below.

The trailer sees the player character observing their ink-drenched left hand. While many of the standard scares and horrors seem intact – the Ink Machine is still very much running – our protagonist seems capable of dispelling the Ink Monsters. Honestly, it’s all up for interpretation, but at least the sequel looks to be a marked graphical improvement over the first game.

Bendy and The Dark Revival arrives this Fall, which seems to indicate the first episode will be out by then. While no platforms were specifically named, the previous game is available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch. It wouldn’t be all that strange to see the sequel follow suit. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Just when you thought good ol’ Bendy was sealed away for good, someone has to come along and turned the ink back on. Kindly Beast, a.k.a. Joey Drew Studios, has announced Bendy and The Dark Revival, a follow-up to its cult-classic first person horror Bendy and The Ink Machine. Check out the first trailer below.

The sequel will also follow an episodic approach, with the first chapter out some time this year. The trailer doesn’t tell us too much, other than the fact that Bendy – or the nightmarish entity that imitates him – will be coming back. It wouldn’t be too far-fetched to expect some new monsters though.

Bendy and The Ink Machine is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch. Split into five chapters, it follows Henry Stein, a retired animator who returns to his previous place of work at the behest of his former employer. Stein quickly discovers the nightmarish ink monsters and the Ink Machine as he fights for survival. Stay tuned for more details on the sequel in the coming months.
