Summary
As rumors regarding a remastered version ofRed Dead Redemptioncontinue to swirl,another belovedRockstargame may also be gearing up for a long-awaited return.Rockstar may be known for creating gritty stories filled with criminals navigating the seedy underbelly of society, but the studio hasn’t stuck to that mold for all its projects. In fact,one of its most underrated cult classicshas comparatively little violence in it given that the bulk of the narrative takes place within the grounds of an especially strict school.
PerGematsu,a Taiwanese rating for a PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC version ofBullyhas just been filed. While there’s no word on whether this is a remaster of the game, it stands to reason that an updated version would require a new rating given that it will be available as a product separate from the original. Some have speculated that the leak may be connected to Rockstar’s recent announcement ofBullycoming to GTA+ but there’s usually a few months between a game’s rating and announcement so the timeline doesn’t add up.
Bully 2 Still Needs To Happen, But Not As A GTA 6 Clone
There’s one big change that could make Bully 2 stand out from both its predecessor and Grand Theft Auto 6 while still following Rockstar tradition.
Bully Is Still A Cult Classic
Fans Have Demanded A Remaster For Years
This is by no means the first time rumors have spreadregarding a remastered version ofBully: Throughout 2021 and 2022,several supposed insiders insisted that Rockstar was working on a remake of the game. While these claims ultimately didn’t amount to anything, this leak seems far more likely to be accurate. It’s not often that a ratings board makes a mistake by accepting a project that’s not in development, so having an official listing for the game on new platforms indicates a certain level of legitimacy.
While it is true thatRockstar is addingBullyto GTA+on August 20, it’s not typical of a studio to apply for a rating simply to have a game that’s almost two decades old added to a new subscription service.As with all leaks, it’s wise to wait for some kind of official confirmation from Rockstar. Having said that, the odds are looking more and more likely that, at the very least, a port ofBullyis coming to modern platforms.
Rockstar has been making an effort to return to some of its older games as it recently releasedRed Dead Redemptionfor both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.More rumors are swirling that the game could also be coming to PC in the near futurebut theseclaims have yet to be confirmed. As forBully, fans will just have to wait and see ifRockstarsees a future for the game in the current generation.
