Rockstar Games is considered one of the crown jewels of developers, with several brilliant franchises under their belts from decades of projects.
Fans will have their favourites - I’m partial to a spot of Table Tennis - and will want these games to get remasters or sequels. Bully is often at the top of the list, but it’s constantly looking unlikely we’ll ever see the game again.
It has been a long time since Bully, and it doesn't look like Rockstar Games will revisit it
Over the years a sequel has been teased or mentioned, Rockstar Games even reportedly got some way into developing a follow-up, but fans seem adamant that the series is dead.

When polled, the Bully subReddit voted that the series will never see a sequel, with 331 people saying it will never come out.
One fan is holding out hope above all, though, believing we’ll one day see a return - “even if it's a decade from now. Rockstar still update's the trademark and have worked on Bully 2 a few times IIRC, so there's still some interest in doing something with it eventually.”
Sadly, Rockstar Games has pivoted away from bringing us several great games and puts all their energy into GTA VI and GTA Online.
Another user thinks variety from Rockstar Games is gone, saying, “I think Rockstar is more focused on milking GTA Online for all it's worth.

Thrillvillefan agrees, “I doubt we'll hear a word from Bully anytime soon. I wish they could, at least; GTA Online needs a break already.”
I don’t think that this is Rockstar Games not wanting to make anything else - they know where the money is, though, so they have to focus somewhat on revenue.
But even if they want to make Bully 2, is the audience there? Does it warrant taking time out of making the biggest video game ever created?
I’ll raise a glass to the hope displayed by some though and leave this article on some positive thoughts from VideoGame_Trtle who says, “One Day, it can be years from now, or even a decade, but One Day, Bully 2 will exist.”
