The new Bendy Collection will include Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival, series creator TheMeatly announced on X/Twitter. This new bundle will include both games at a discounted price, allowing players to access all of the main-line Bendy games all in one convenient bundle.
Bendy and the Ink Machine and the later-released Bendy and the Dark Revival are not only the franchise's main-line games, but are also fan favourites and arguably the best in the franchise. While many players love the non-mainline games like Boris and the Dark Survival and Secrets of the Machine, they don't pack quite the same punch as the main games, which focus on developing the story and lore.
It's unknown whether the bundle will include all of the main-line Bendy games as new ones are added. After all, Bendy 3 is now in pre-production, developer TheMeatly announced on the official Bendy X/Twitter account back in April. TheMeatly has also recently teased that "big things" are in store for the Bendy franchise, noting that many projects that he's been working on for a while will soon be revealed.
Not a lot is known about the plot of Bendy 3 quite yet, and there's not a final title. But for those wondering - yes, Bendy himself will return in Bendy 3, according to the post on the official account. The developer followed up with a little joking nod to fellow horror franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's: "I would say 'he always comes back' but I think that’s taken." No word on whether any iterations of other characters, like Boris the Wolf, Alice Angel, and the Butcher Gang will return in this game, though.
A third main-line game isn't the only confirmed content in store for the little ink demon. Last December, TheMeatly revealed that a Bendy film is coming. Similar to Bendy 3, there's been little word on that upcoming movie - but many fans are excited for what to come, especially given the recent success of the Five Nights at Freddy's Movie.
With this new bundle, a new movie, and multiple upcoming games, there's a lot going on with Bendy right now. For now, you can grab the all-new Bendy: Studio Collection on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, offering 20% off the total of both Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival.
