Gta and Rdr The Rockstar Games developer has another extremely popular game franchise, which many younger fans may not remember: Bully. Port of title to iOS and Android, Bully: Anniversary editionIt was launched in 2016 and surprisingly received an update almost a decade later, on March 25, 2025. Now, this could be one of the first steps in Rockstar's plans to add the game to his GTA+ catalog or could be something different. What looks, however, is that the developer has not forgotten about it.
Bully It is one of Rockstar Games's best titles, and fans have made many requests for a continuation since the initial launch on PlayStation 2 in 2006. There has been no news on this front and it has been clear in the last two years that the developer is focused on Gta 6. If planned, Bully 2 It is still probably a few years away. Another aspect that is quite clear is that, if it happens, Rockstar may need to move away from the topics and the exceeded, absurdist mechanics of the first entrance; Focusing on based, dramatic stories can be the best way to follow.

The scope of the Grand Theft Auto 6 makes it perfect for the Cameo appearances in the past rockstar titles, and a character in particular must appear.
The success of Bully 2 may depend on the creation of one's own identity
Given that SkyHigh Hype Gta 6 It was also built that the fact that GTA online still goes quite strong, Bully 2 He may have to create his own niche in order not to be swept under the carpet. Rockstar could do this by focusing on creating a strong story and themes. Moving the absurdist elements of the first game may be essential, especially if Gta 6 It turns out to be wilder than any other series of series. As such, the setting Bully 2 somewhere along the lines Deadly Dead Red Redemption It could be the saving grace and the major point of sale, in which the emphasis focuses on well -founded stories, intense and detailed mechanics.
How potential narrative depth of Bully 2 could rival with Rockstar's most iconic franchise
The current cultural climate is deeply influenced by the social networks and the equally-to-to-one pressure pressure takes each other in a constant voltage spiral. Bully 2 It could reflect on these elements by sending the protagonist to a new school, one in which the problems are full and trust must be obtained. The game could explore the teen anguish that is well portable by shows like Euphoria and Sexual education; The protagonist who tries to fulfill his hopes and dreams for the future, an identity crisis and even the brave, but stressful commitment to want to sit on their own feet are all great ingredients for a rockstar game.
Bully 2 They could have elements of other games evolved on stories, with the decision of a player who influences the path taken, the friends they make and the people they alienate. The personal journey that I do along the campaign have not only added to the story. The presence of powerful themes of perseverance and friends being the saving grace could be playing games here. Rockstar showed through his work – Deadly Dead Red Redemption, Max PayneAnd even Bully in itself, for example – that he can handle such themes. A diverse distribution that brings varied environments, takes over the surrounding problems and even relationships, could cause the portrait of adolescents to be much more real and impactful.
An extended setting can help bully 2 explore richer mechanics and mature narratives
Rockstar has already explored a school scenario in BullyPretty alive, if not perfect. In view of this fact, it is possible that the developer will choose to go further to a university framework. To do this not only help him approach mature narratives and keep that unpleasant tone, for adults, but also to accuse elements that can be too much for a high school scenario.
For example, social media is considered to be an important aspect of Gta 6. If Rockstar Games does Bully 2It would make sense to bring back social networks as a game mechanic, encouraging players to use the Internet to engage with their colleagues. This would also add more weight and dynamic, contributing to world bulging to feel real.
Such a framework and mechanics would also help to better explore the problems of adolescents related to personal identity, relationships with people around them, drug problems and even the courage to be faithful to themselves in a more and more judgmental world. They would help to strengthen Bully 2The core of being a stories -based game like Deadly Dead Red Redemptionrather than an absurd adventure above Gta. The challenge would be to incorporate real, mature themes, while still building a fun game. Rockstar proved to be an unpleasant hand on intense projects and maybe very good to bring a star victory again.
