Recent excitement among Rockstar fans has been sparked by a resurfacing Bully 2 rumor, which, surprisingly, dates back to last year. Despite its origin, the rumor is once again circulating and reigniting the fervent anticipation of the series’ enthusiasts who are hopeful that Bully 2 is finally in the works. As previously reported, Rockstar Games has made attempts to develop Bully 2, with at least two, and possibly three, efforts in the past. However, the project has consistently found itself on the back burner, largely due to the studio’s prioritization of major franchises like GTA and Red Dead Redemption.
The current emphasis at Rockstar Games revolves around the highly anticipated GTA 6, with the majority of the studio devoted to its development. The challenge lies in finding space for experimentation, as resources are typically stretched thin during the production of flagship titles. Despite the hurdles, last year’s comment from insider Tez2 hinted at the possibility of revisiting Bully 2 post-GTA 6. Tez2 suggested that the project had undergone two years of active development before being put on hold.
While this tease has been circulating again, it’s crucial to acknowledge the pattern of recurring excitement among Bully fans. The prospect of Bully 2 making a comeback has surfaced multiple times, with rumors suggesting its imminent return. While there has been substance to some of these rumors, actual fruition has remained elusive. Take-Two Interactive has reportedly urged Rockstar Games to increase its game output, given the longstanding gap between major releases.
As of now, there’s no information from our sources regarding Bully 2. While silence can sometimes indicate secretive development, it often means just that – silence. In other words, it might be premature to get too optimistic. At the time of publication, Rockstar Games has not commented on the old rumor or the renewed speculation. While it’s unlikely that this will change, we will promptly update the story if there are any developments. For now, fans may need to temper their expectations and keep an eye out for official announcements from Rockstar Games in the future.
