The crossover we didn’t know we needed might have been within reach, only to be snatched away at the last second. A recentGTA Vdatabase leak has revealed a string of code referencingBully 2,leaving fans to once again speculate if a sequel is going to happen.
Although a lot ofRockstarfans’ focus is onGTA VI, from its enormous map to the questions over single-player expansions, some gamers are looking to the past. They’re the ones who’ve never lost hope thatBully 2would come to be; insiders sayingit’ll come afterGTA VIhave fanned the flames, and now this leaked code is adding further fuel.
Here’s theBullytrailer for a bitter-sweet walk down memory lane.
Yet, while hope still lingers, it’s tinged with disappointment, with fans concerned that this is just further proof that the game nearly was but never will be. “We kinda know Rockstar tried to makeBully 2multiple times but it was always cancelled, so likely it was in development around the same timeRDR2was too. Sadly, since all focus is on the nextGTA, it is not likely it still is in development, but maybe hopefully there is a chance in the future,”saidMr_Nobody0 in response to the leaked code.

Alongside theBully 2mentions, there are also references to aGTA VDLC called ‘Cops N’ Crooks’. I’m not great with analysing code, but from what fans have said, this DLC would have introduced some kind of new game mode, though the specifics are still unknown.
But what does it all mean? Why is thereBullycode in aGTA Vdatabase? According to some fans, this type of occurrence isn’t as unusual as you might think, “The files themselves can be accidentally included. Plenty of people forget to switch to a release branch when uploading compiled code somewhere,” reasoned berserkuh after someone asked if this leak was bad for Rockstar.
So, this could be a case of an accident, one that was hoped to be buried but has now seen the light of day. Whether it means anything for the future of the Bully franchise, that is even less clear, though we can all live in hope.
