Bendy’s Nightmare Run returns to Android and iOS

Joey Drew Studios announced that Bendy’s Nightmare Run is available again on Android and iOS as a new, standalone app. The title previously appeared on mobile in August 2018 under a different name before it was removed from stores.

Players can control Bendy, Boris or Alice as they sprint through vintage cartoon-style levels filled with hazards and enemies while oversized bosses pursue them. Runs require dodging obstacles, fighting foes, collecting items and using weapons against towering enemies.

During play, users collect an in-game currency called Bacon Soup and earn experience points that unlock characters, weapons, costumes and upgrades. The release includes four episodes, each with a unique oversized boss, and a harder Nightmare mode that lets players replay episodes with increased difficulty. The game tracks objectives and scores and supports progression through unlockable content.

Joey Drew Studios confirmed the new app is separate from the earlier mobile release and that accounts from the previous version will not transfer to the relaunch. The earlier title was shelved amid legal disputes.

The studio listed planned future additions including an endless mode, leaderboards, new episodes and new bosses but has not provided a detailed roadmap or firm release dates for those updates. The current version of Bendy’s Nightmare Run is available to download now on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
