Rockstar Releases Bully Anniversary Update After Six Years

Rockstar, the masterminds behind the GTA series, have delighted fans by releasing an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile platforms. After a six-year wait, this update brings fresh content exclusively to mobile users, bypassing console and PC players.

Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!

Bully: Anniversary Edition's latest update introduces new language support and emphasizes stability enhancements alongside bug fixes. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges to refine the gaming experience.

For Android users with compatible devices, the update now includes Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), enhancing visual depth. Both Android and iOS players will enjoy an updated app icon and the addition of haptic feedback, enriching the tactile feel of gameplay.

Several missions have been meticulously fixed, including 'That Bitch,' where issues with Mandy's locker were resolved, and 'Weed Killer,' which previously stalled if the window was broken prematurely. Additionally, the infamous falling police cars in 'The Rumble' mission have been corrected. The update also addresses scenarios where enemies would inexplicably refrain from attacking Jimmy, ensuring more dynamic combat encounters. Crashes that could occur when initiating a new game or loading a saved game from the pause menu have also been resolved.

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

The fanbase has been vocal about their desire for a Bully sequel, yet Rockstar's focus seems to have shifted elsewhere. Reports indicate that Bully 2 was in development during the 2010s but was ultimately shelved to prioritize Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online.

With GTA 6 currently in development, the prospects for Bully 2 seem slim, especially given that many of the original team members have since left Rockstar. Although this update isn't a full remaster or a sequel, it represents a significant upgrade for mobile gamers.

For newcomers, Bully offers a unique take on the schoolyard sandbox genre. You step into the shoes of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old navigating the tumultuous world of Bullworth Academy with classic Rockstar humor and open-world antics.

Interested in diving into this updated experience? You can find Bully: Anniversary Edition on the Google Play Store for €7.99, complete with full gamepad support.
