Rockstar Updates Bully 6 Years Later

Rockstar Games has surprised fans with a new Anniversary Edition update for Bully, marking its first major patch in six years. This mobile-exclusive refresh brings improvements without reaching console or PC platforms.

Bullworth Academy Gets a Modern Touch-Up

The Anniversary Edition introduces multiple language options alongside crucial stability upgrades and bug fixes. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges while implementing quality-of-life enhancements.

Key technical improvements include:

• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) support for compatible Android devices
• A refreshed app icon
• Haptic feedback integration across both mobile platforms

Rockstar addressed several longstanding gameplay issues:

• Fixed the infamous Mandy's locker puzzle in 'That Bitch' mission
• Resolved progression blockers in 'Weed Killer' when windows broke prematurely
• Corrected physics for police vehicles disappearing during 'The Rumble'
• Improved enemy AI that previously failed to engage protagonist Jimmy
• Eliminated crashes during new game startups and save file loading

Community Reacts to Unexpected Bully Refresh

While fans continue requesting Bully 2, Rockstar appears focused on other franchises. Reports suggest sequel development paused during the 2010s to prioritize Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online expansions.

With GTA VI currently in production and key Bully team members departed, hopes for a sequel remain slim. This mobile update, though not a full remaster, offers meaningful improvements for handheld players.

For newcomers, Bully presents Rockstar's signature open-world formula in a school setting. Players control troubled teen Jimmy Hopkins navigating Bullworth Academy's social hierarchy through classic Rockstar humor and mischief mechanics.

The Anniversary Edition currently retails for €7.99 on Google Play Store featuring full controller support alongside its visual and technical upgrades.
