Rockstar, the mastermind behind the GTA series, has finally rolled out an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile devices. After a six-year hiatus, this update breathes new life into the beloved game, exclusively for mobile users, leaving console and PC players waiting on the sidelines.
Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!
Bully: Anniversary Edition's latest update brings a host of enhancements, including new language support and a focus on stability improvements and bug fixes. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges to iron out any kinks.
The update also introduces Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) for Android users with compatible devices, revamps the app icon, and adds haptic feedback for a more immersive experience on both iOS and Android platforms.
Several mission-specific bugs have been squashed. For instance, the mission 'That Bitch' now allows players to successfully pick Mandy's locker, 'Weed Killer' progresses correctly even if you break the window prematurely, and the police cars in 'The Rumble' no longer plummet through the floor.
Additionally, the update addresses issues where enemies wouldn't attack Jimmy, resulting in one-sided fights. It also fixes crashes that could occur when starting a new game or loading a save from the pause menu.
What Do Players Have to Say about Bully: Anniversary Edition?
The Bully community has long clamored for a sequel, but Rockstar appears to have different plans. A sequel was reportedly in development during the 2010s but was shelved in favor of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the lucrative GTA Online.
With GTA 6 now in the pipeline, the chances of Bully 2 seem slim, especially given that many of the original developers have moved on from Rockstar. While this update isn't a full remaster or a new installment, it's a significant upgrade for mobile gamers.
For newcomers, Bully is Rockstar's unique take on a schoolyard sandbox game. You step into the shoes of Jimmy Hopkins, a rebellious 15-year-old navigating the trials and tribulations of Bullworth Academy. Expect the signature Rockstar humor and open-world mischief.
So, dive into Bully: Anniversary Edition on the Google Play Store. Priced at €7.99, it comes with full gamepad support, making it a must-try for fans and newcomers alike.
