History
Little is known about it save for the following: Similar to Joey Drew Studios, Archgate Films produces cartoons and feature-length animated films. Allison Pendle, according to her note message found in Joey's apartment, worked at Archgate Films as a voice actress for the unseen animated film series as well as possibly other animated projects, and that Joey Drew's old friend, Nathan Arch served as founder and owner of the company itself.[3]
At some point in time, Wilson, Nathan's son, managed to become an employee for Archgate after previously helping transfer the Ink Machine to the main studio. At another undisclosed point, Audrey Drew began to work at Archgate and managed to become employee of the month at the company.
After the studio obtained the Ink Machine, Alan Gray, the CEO of the Gent Corporation visited the studio in an attempt to get the Ink Machine back. However, the receptionist knew nothing about it, and he left. However, he kept visiting in order to get the Ink Machine while Wilson took note of it.
Following the events of Bendy and the Dark Revival, the Ink Machine was taken from Archgate by Gent for unknown reasons.
