‘Bendy and the Ink Machine’ Creator Hints at New Game
Good news for you Bendy and the Ink Machine fans! With February 10th marking the two-year anniversary of the original game, Mike Mood of Joey Drew Studios (the publisher behind the original game, and also the name of the company within the storyline) has dropped a little something that hints at a sequel.
The teaser, which features Joey Drew’s voice, has the character talking about how 1931 will be “an amazing year”, with talk of growth and hiring of talent. Of course, this is all done in-character, but once you reach the end of the teaser, you get the sense that the real-life Joey Drew Studios is doing something that involves Bendy.
Mood had stated in an interview with Newsweek that “Bendy will return”, although it’s unclear as to what form that would be. Be it sequel or prequel, or another game set in the previous game’s universe.
Stay tuned, as the teaser says.
Bendy and the Ink Machine was originally released back in 2017 on Steam, and was subsequently ported to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch in recent years.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
