Bendy and the Ink Machine's Seasonal Events Will Return Every Year

As a long-time fan of Bendy and the Ink Machine, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and melancholy with this latest update. On one hand, it’s fantastic to know that we can celebrate Halloween every year within the game world, thanks to the seasonal coding. But on the other, hearing that updates for the older games might be few and far between is a bittersweet pill to swallow.


The latest Halloween update for the game “Bendy and the Ink Machine” now includes a scary theme, making the game more festive for the season. Since updates for this 2017 game have been scarce following the release of its sequel, “Bendy and the Dark Revival,” many players are curious to know if the Halloween update will stay in the game permanently.

When inquired about the return of the overlay for next year, developer and series co-creator Michael R. Desjardins affirmed that “seasons are incorporated into the game.” This implies that indeed, enthusiasts will have the opportunity to rejoice in the holiday annually by experiencing some exciting in-game adjustments.

Mike announced that the seasonal updates for both BATIM and BATDR will be continuously accessible during their respective seasons! Additionally, there might be a holiday-themed update for BATIM, but they’re quite occupied at the moment. Noteworthy, they have completed all seasonal updates for their older games.

While it’s exciting to learn about annual seasonal updates, Desjardins hinted that these might not be frequent – or even happen – since the team is concentrating on new ventures instead.

Desjardins mentioned that he probably won’t create any more seasonal content for the older games due to his packed schedule. Yet, he didn’t completely rule out the possibility, saying instead, “I’m not going to deny the chance – I just don’t have it planned at the moment.

Although the updates for the older games may have slowed down, fortunately, the Bendy and the Ink Machine series has been providing plenty of fresh content for its enthusiasts lately.

The director for the Bendy and the Ink Machine Movie will be announced tomorrow, on Halloween – and is someone that TheMeatly has said is both a “famous individual” and understands the franchise very well. He also announced that The Cage is in development again, and should be released sometime in 2025. Also up-and-coming for the Bendy series is Bendy Lone Wolf, a replacement for Boris and the Dark Survival with roguelike mechanics.
