Rockstar Releases Bully Anniversary Update After Six Years

Rockstar, the masterminds behind the iconic GTA series, have thrilled fans by releasing an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile devices. After a six-year hiatus, this update brings a fresh wave of excitement to the mobile gaming community, although console and PC players will have to sit this one out.

Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!

Bully: Anniversary Edition now boasts support for new languages and a patch that zeroes in on enhancing stability and squashing pesky bugs. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges to focus on these improvements.

For Android users with compatible devices, the update introduces Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), enhancing visual depth. Additionally, both Android and iOS platforms now feature an updated app icon and haptic feedback, enriching the user experience.

Several mission-specific issues have been resolved, including the notorious locker-picking challenge in 'That Bitch' and the progression glitch in 'Weed Killer' if the window was broken prematurely. The update also fixes the bizarre issue of police cars falling through the floor during 'The Rumble' and corrects the AI behavior where enemies would inexplicably refuse to engage Jimmy in combat. Crashes that could occur when starting a new game or loading a save from the pause menu have also been addressed.

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

The gaming community has been vocal about their desire for Bully 2, a sequel that was reportedly in development during the 2010s but 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 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 significant upgrade for mobile players. If you're new to Bully, you're in for a treat. This game is Rockstar's unique spin on a schoolyard sandbox, where you step into the shoes of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old navigating the trials and tribulations of Bullworth Academy. Expect the classic Rockstar humor and open-world antics that fans adore.

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