Bendy and the Silent City is a concept prototype developed by TheMeatly. The prototype footage was accidently released by TheMeatly on the Joey Drew Studios YouTube channel in May of 2023 before being privated and deleted shortly afterwards. He clarified on Twitter that the game was not in active development due to the team focusing on other Bendy-related projects. However, he also clarified that the project was not cancelled, and that since the leak was already widespread, it was okay to talk about the game in public.
