Development
The prototype footage, titled Bendy and the Silent City, was accidentally released to the Joey Drew Studios YouTube channel on May 10th, 2023 before being made private and deleted shortly after. In response, theMeatly clarified on Twitter[1] that the game was not in active development at that moment in time, with the team instead having their focus on other Bendy projects. Later, theMeatly added that Bendy and the Silent City is not canceled, and that it is okay to discuss the leak publicly due to it already being widespread. [2]
The footage is very old and the game was supported with an Xbox controller. The video starts with the player entering a hallway that leads to the Toon Saloon. The player has one objective, "Find the Snitch". Just before they open the door they pull out a gun. Once they pull it out, they continue into the saloon. The Saloon has blood everywhere, and the writing on the wall says "Screw Your Stains". The player then stands around for a bit and shoots bottles, then continue on through another door that leads to another hallway. The hallway has ink on it and a glowing picture of a bomb. The player walks up to it and takes the drawing and somehow transfers it to their notebook. They then press the Y key and take the bomb out of the notebook. The footage then cuts to outside the Toon Saloon, with a cartoon man A-posing to the left of the saloon, and an animated cartoon woman standing to the right of the saloon. The footage then shows more animations of possible characters. A little later on, the footage shows two A-posing characters, with the player shooting at them and pieces of their skin come off. The footage then shows the models of the characters, with the skin layers off. Then the player is punching one of the characters, and finally the footage ends with the game's title.
On January 1, 2024, theMeatly once again addressed Bendy and the Silent City, stating that the game has seen additional development since the leak and that the game isn't abandoned, but is low priority and may be a long way off from releasing. The game was also now referred as Bendy: The Silent City instead of Bendy and the Silent City in the tweet.[3]
Later on, the game was properly revealed in Bendy: Secrets of the Machine, which was released on April 14, 2024, with a proper teaser rather than leaked footage, revealing that the game is still in-production and will be intended for mature audience only. The next day, another Bendy: The Silent City teaser is revealed, showing a back alley with a kitten named Fluffsy.
