‘Bendy and the Ink Machine’ and ‘Bendy and the Dark Revival’ Get Two-for-One Physical Release for PS5, Switch
If for whatever reason you never picked up physical editions of Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival, Silver Lining Interactive and Joey Drew Studios have gone the “two great tastes that taste great together” route, releasing the brand-new Bendy Double Pack for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Available now from Silver Lining Direct and selected local retailers, you can still pick up the individual physical releases of the two games, though the bundle offers a reduced price.
Set in an abandoned 1930s animation studio, Bendy and the Ink Machine cast players as the retired animator Henry. wOnce the lead animator during the studio’s golden age, Henry thought his days drawing cartoons were long behind him. However, decades later, a cryptic invitation pulls him back to the studio, and into a twisted world of living ink, broken memories, and something that should’ve stayed forgotten.
Meanwhile, Bendy and the Dark Revival sees players aid Audrey, an animator who was unwillingly pulled into the inky abyss of Bendy’s cartoon world, as she escapes the studio. Audrey will have to combat the dark monsters lurking around every corner and require the aid of allies like Allison, the battle hardened veteran, and the titular Bendy.
Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival are also available on the Xbox Series and PC via Steam. A third entry in the series, Bendy: Lone Wolf, is also available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch. You can also pick up the game in a physical edition for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]
For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.
For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.
The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.
Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.
Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.
The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:
- Level design changes
- Puzzle redesigns
- Performance optimizations
- New immersive audio system
- Controller support
- New menu interfaces
