Rockstar Releases Bully Anniversary Update After Six Years

Rockstar, the masterminds behind the GTA series, have just released an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile devices. After a six-year hiatus, this update is a welcome surprise for fans, though it's exclusive to mobile and not available on console or PC.

Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!

Bully: Anniversary Edition's latest update introduces new languages and emphasizes stability improvements and bug fixes. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges to ensure a smoother experience.

The update also brings Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) for Android users with compatible devices, refreshes the app icon, and adds haptic feedback across both platforms. Several mission-specific issues have been resolved, including the locker-picking problem in 'That Bitch', the progression glitch in 'Weed Killer', and the falling police cars in 'The Rumble'.

Additionally, the update addresses gameplay issues where enemies wouldn't attack Jimmy, leading to unbalanced fights, and fixes crashes that could occur when starting a new game or loading a save from the pause menu.

What Do Players Have to Say about Bully: Anniversary Edition?

The Bully community has been vocal about their desire for a sequel, Bully 2, for years. Although there were reports of its development in the 2010s, it was ultimately shelved in favor of Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online. With GTA 6 on the horizon, the prospects for Bully 2 seem slim, especially with many original developers having moved on from Rockstar.

While this update isn't a full remaster or a sequel, it's a significant upgrade for mobile players. If you're new to Bully, it's Rockstar's unique take on a schoolyard sandbox game where you play as Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old navigating the challenges of Bullworth Academy with classic Rockstar humor and open-world antics.

You can grab Bully: Anniversary Edition on the Google Play Store for €7.99, and it supports full gamepad functionality.
