Is The Bendy And The Ink Machine Movie Canon?

The Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie was just announced, leaving the series' fans scrambling for answers about the upcoming film's details. Fans have had questions about the movie's characters, setting, and, yes, whether or not the movie is canon and aligns with the games fans know and love.

Here's the scoop on whether the Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie is canon, and how it lines up with the popular games.

Is The Bendy And The Ink Machine Movie Canon?

TheMeatly has confirmed that the Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie will be canon to the games. This means that everything that happens in the movie, really happens in the Bendy and the Ink Machine universe. This differs a little from the record-breaking FNAF Movie, as it veers a little from the games' canon.

However, the plot of the Bendy movie hasn't been announced yet. This means we don't know whether the film will be an adaptation of one of the games, directly adapting the stories fans have played through for the big screen - or whether it will be an expansion upon existing lore, adding more context to the things fans already know.

Either way, it's certain that the Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie will be a canon, official adaptation from the Bendy and the Ink Machine universe. It's not the only thing currently going on with the Bendy franchise, either; Bendy: The Cage is set to come out next year, and it even made our list of our most anticipated horror games of 2024. That's not to mention Bendy 3, yet another mainline title TheMeatly has hinted at to follow The Dark Revival.
