- A rating for Bully on modern consoles and PC has suddenly shown up.
- The game is already playable on these consoles, suggesting that Rockstar is working on a new version.
- The rating does not mention the Nintendo Switch, pointing to a potential Bully remake from the studio.
Rockstar’s Bully has long been one of its most beloved IPs. While it has remained ignored for more than a decade, fans continue to discuss a potential sequel. Many also hope to see Rockstar joining the trend of remakes.
This could open the doors to remakes of beloved classics like GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption, and Bully. While the developer’s plans are anybody’s guess, a small hint has just popped up. Following a new rating, Bully may be getting a remake.
Why it matters: Rockstar has found success with re-releases like Red Dead Redemption. However, the team has yet to delve into the business of producing fully-fledged remakes.
The Taiwan Rating Committee has just rated Rockstar’s classic title for last and current-generation consoles, in addition to PC.
What’s interesting here is that Bully is already available on all these consoles through emulation or proper backward compatibility. Similarly, a PC version already exists, making this rating more interesting.
Since the title has been rated for every modern platform but the Nintendo Switch, this may an indication of remake. On the other hand, Rockstar could simply opt for a remaster.
However, in this instance, it would not make much sense for the studio to skip a Nintendo Switch release. Last year’s Red Dead Redemption remaster also arrived on the hybrid console, so the same could easily be done for Bully.
Whatever the case may be, a new version of Bully certainly appears to be in the works.
It can be said that Bully never got the attention it deserved. Rockstar is unlikely to make a sequel anytime soon either, so a highly polished re-release could be a nice compromise for fans who long to see this IP returning.
For now, the studio is fully focused on GTA 6. However, with GTA 6 coming next year and this new rating showing up, perhaps the team has plans for Bully somewhere down the line.
