Rockstar Releases Bully Anniversary Update After Six Years

Rockstar, the masterminds behind the GTA series, have thrilled fans by releasing an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile devices. Yes, you read that right—after a six-year hiatus, they've finally rolled out an update, and it's exclusively for mobile, leaving console and PC players waiting in the wings.

Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!

Bully: Anniversary Edition's latest update brings a slew of enhancements, including support for new languages, and a focus on boosting stability and squashing pesky bugs. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges while they work on improvements.

Android users with compatible devices will now enjoy the added visual depth with Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO). The update also refreshes the app icon and introduces haptic feedback for a more immersive experience on both iOS and Android.

Several missions have been polished to perfection. Issues in missions like 'That Bitch', where Mandy's locker was previously impossible to pick, and 'Weed Killer', which wouldn't progress if you broke the window prematurely, have been resolved. The update also fixes a bizarre glitch in 'The Rumble' where police cars would fall through the floor.

Combat dynamics have been improved, addressing cases where enemies wouldn't attack Jimmy, resulting in unbalanced fights. Crashes that could occur when starting a new game or loading a save from the pause menu have also been tackled, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.

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

The fanbase has been clamoring for Bully 2 for years, but Rockstar's focus seems to be elsewhere. A sequel was reportedly in development during the 2010s, but it was shelved to prioritize Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online.

With GTA 6 on the horizon, the prospects for Bully 2 seem dim, especially given the departure of many original developers from Rockstar. While the new update isn't a full remaster or a sequel, it's a welcome upgrade for mobile gamers.

For those unfamiliar with Bully, it's Rockstar's unique take on a schoolyard sandbox game. You step into the shoes of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old navigating the chaos of Bullworth Academy, with the signature Rockstar humor and open-world antics.

Dive into Bully: Anniversary Edition, available on the Google Play Store for €7.99, complete with full gamepad support.
