Rockstar Releases Bully Anniversary Edition Update After Six Years

Rockstar Games, the mastermind behind the iconic GTA series, has just surprised fans with a major update for Bully: Anniversary Edition on mobile platforms. After a hiatus of six years, this update breathes new life into the beloved schoolyard adventure, exclusively for mobile users.

Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!

The Anniversary Edition update introduces a variety of enhancements aimed at improving the overall experience. Rockstar has added support for new languages and prioritized stability improvements along with numerous bug fixes. One notable change is the temporary disablement of Friends Challenges, which Rockstar assures is for the betterment of gameplay.

For Android users with compatible devices, the update introduces Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), enhancing visual fidelity. Both Android and iOS platforms benefit from an updated app icon and the addition of haptic feedback, enriching the sensory experience.

Several missions have been meticulously refined. Issues in missions like 'That Bitch', where players couldn't pick Mandy's locker, and 'Weed Killer', which failed to progress if the window was broken prematurely, have been resolved. The infamous disappearing police cars in 'The Rumble' are now a thing of the past, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.

The update also tackles gameplay bugs, such as enemies refusing to engage Jimmy in combat, which previously made fights feel unbalanced. Crashes that could occur when starting a new game or loading a save from the pause menu have been fixed, enhancing the game's reliability.

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

The gaming community has long clamored for a sequel, Bully 2, but Rockstar appears to have shifted its focus elsewhere. Rumors suggest that a follow-up was in development during the 2010s but was shelved to prioritize projects like Red Dead Redemption 2 and the lucrative GTA Online.

With the much-anticipated GTA 6 on the horizon, the prospects of Bully 2 seem dim, particularly as many of the original team members have moved on from Rockstar. While this update doesn't represent a full remaster or a new installment, it's a welcome enhancement for mobile gamers.

For those new to the series, Bully offers a unique blend of Rockstar's signature humor and open-world mischief, centered around the life of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old navigating the challenges of Bullworth Academy.

Dive into Bully: Anniversary Edition available on the Google Play Store for €7.99, with full gamepad support ensuring a seamless gaming experience on mobile.
