Excitement for a potential sequel to Bully may be on hold, but fans have a new opportunity to enjoy the beloved franchise through a fan-made online mod known as Bully Online. Developed by the modding team SWEGTA, this mod allows players to engage in mini-games, roleplay, and various competitive activities with friends, capturing the essence of the original game's humor and style. Bully Online leverages the DSL script loader, enhancing the modding capabilities beyond what was previously thought possible. Starting in December, the server will be accessible to those who support the project, offering an array of gameplay experiences including an intricate inventory system and monetization options for in-game assets. Although Rockstar's co-founder has cited limitations as the reason for the lack of an official Bully 2, the community's fervent interest keeps the legacy alive through innovative projects like this.

Will there ever be an official Bully 2 game?

As of now, Rockstar Games has indicated that there are no plans for Bully 2 due to "bandwidth issues" as mentioned by co-founder Dan Houser. However, the enduring interest from fans and the success of community-driven projects suggest that the franchise may still have a future, albeit unofficially at this time.

Bully, originally released as Canis Canem Edit in some regions, is an action-adventure game that follows Jimmy, a teenage outsider navigating life at a private school. The game is celebrated for its humor and engaging gameplay, making it a cult classic among gamers. Despite the absence of a sequel, elements from its development were incorporated into other major Rockstar titles, showcasing the lasting impact of the Bully series within the gaming community.
