Joey Drew Studios Inc. is a Canadian video game developer and publisher that has its origins to late 2015, when it was known as theMeatly Games.
Named after the comic artist and game developer theMeatly, their first game was 'MeatlyMakes' which was released on Game Jolt on 11th May 2016, and this indie was followed by their most famous creation on 10th February 2017; the first chapter of 'Bendy and the Ink Machine'. Bendy is an episodic survival horror game that consists of five chapters, the last of which was completed on 26th October 2018 that saw a "complete edition" of the game be released a day later.
However, the last chapter and complete edition of BATIM featured a new logo and name change, that being Joey Drew Studios Inc. which debuted on their website on 31st July 2018 and later appeared on the reveal trailer for the aforementioned chapter in late August. This was named after the fictional American animation studio Joey Drew Studios (1929-48; note the "est. 1929" text in one of the 2019 variants) that appears in the Bendy game.
Kindly Beast was founded around the same time as the Joey Drew Studios Inc. name change; the Bendy Wiki states they were founded on 15th September 2018 whilst MobyGames goes for an earlier date of 24th July. Also based in Canada, they were founded by theMeatly and Mike Desjardins, the latter being a co-creator and developer of BATIM.
'Showdown Bandit' is their only game with the first episode released on 19th September 2019, and this is in the horror genre. The second episode of 'Showdown Bandit' was planned, but work conditions at Kindly Beast were not easy going and the majority of its staff were laid off three weeks after the first episode was released. Kindly Beast closed all their social media accounts in mid-2020 and the MobyGames webpage on them says that they were "folded into Joey Drew Studios Inc." on 1st August 2021.
The remaining games in the Joey Drew Studios Inc. catalogue are in the Bendy franchise, one of which is 'Bendy and the Dark Revival' that was announced as the second instalment in said franchise on 14th April 2019. Whilst that was being made, 'Boris and the Dark Survival' was released as a standalone game on 10th February 2020 and was later given a rebranded update as 'Bendy: Lone Wolf' on 15th August 2025, which is Joey Drew's latest game release as of writing this.
BATDR was released on 15th November 2022 which saw the introduction of Joey Drew's second and current logo, and this has appeared on numerous trailers on the Joey Drew Studios YT channel since then, one of which was an April Fools prank in 2023. Many variations of this logo exists, including a sped-up version of the BATDR variant on a "director announcement" of 'Bendy and the Ink Machine', an upcoming film that Joey Drew is making in collaboration with Radar Pictures and Double Down Pictures; the director is André Øvredal.
A "title reveal" trailer of 'Bendy and the Ink Factory', the third instalment in the Bendy franchise, is the latest upload on the Joey Drew Studios YT channel (27-08-25).
