Rockstar, the masterminds behind the GTA series, have surprised fans with an Anniversary Edition update for Bully on mobile devices. After a six-year hiatus, this update is a welcome gift for mobile gamers, though it's exclusive to mobile and not available on consoles or PCs.
Rockstar Hasn’t Forgotten about Bullworth Academy!
Bully: Anniversary Edition's latest update introduces new languages and emphasizes stability enhancements and bug fixes. Notably, Rockstar has temporarily disabled Friends Challenges to streamline the gaming experience.
For Android users with compatible devices, the update now includes Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), enhancing visual quality. Both Android and iOS players will notice the updated app icon and the addition of haptic feedback, enriching the tactile feel of the game.
Several mission-specific bugs have been addressed. For instance, the mission 'That Bitch' where Mandy’s locker was unpickable has been fixed. 'Weed Killer' now progresses correctly even if you break the window prematurely, and 'The Rumble' no longer sees police cars falling through the floor. Moreover, the update resolves issues where enemies wouldn't attack Jimmy, ensuring more balanced combat, and 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 been vocal about their desire for a sequel, Bully 2, for years. Despite reports of development in the 2010s, it was shelved in favor of projects like Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online. With GTA 6 on the horizon, hopes for Bully 2 seem slim, especially with many original developers having moved on from Rockstar. While this update isn't a full remaster or a sequel, it's a meaningful upgrade for mobile players.
If you're new to Bully, it's Rockstar's unique spin on a schoolyard sandbox game. You step into the shoes of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old troublemaker navigating the challenges of Bullworth Academy, complete with Rockstar's signature humor and open-world antics.
So, why not dive into Bully: Anniversary Edition? Available on the Google Play Store for €7.99, it also supports full gamepad functionality for a more immersive experience.
