The reason behind the long wait for the Bully sequel is because Rockstar Games felt that they did not see the need to create a sequel right after the original was released. With Max Payne 3 already planned and in the works, limited bandwidth and limited studios caused the game to take a backseat while the company focused on Max Payne 3.
“So we knew that we didn’t want to start doing the Bully sequel instantly at that second with those guys — even though it is a property that, like Max, we adore and might come back to in the future. There was just no impetus to do that then.”
So who’s looking forward to a possible sequel? It should be noted that by no means does this confirm that a sequel is in the works, but fans of the original game will be relieved to know that Rockstar Games has not abandoned the Bully franchise, so it’s just a matter of time before we hear news about the sequel. For now perhaps it’s time to dust off the original game and relive some memories.
