Overview

• In a new IGN interview, the Rockstar co-founder said a small lead creative and senior leadership team lacked the bandwidth to pursue a Bully sequel.
• Coverage reports Rockstar chose a one-project, cross-studio model after GTA V, directing resources to Red Dead Redemption 2 rather than running multiple games in parallel.
• Reports cited in the coverage suggest ideas once explored for Bully 2, including deeper NPC interactions and a more nuanced open world, appeared in Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Houser contrasted Rockstar’s approach with Absurd Ventures, saying his new studio is structured to keep two projects moving with a relatively small team.
• With Bully approaching its 20th anniversary and Rockstar focused on Grand Theft Auto 6, currently expected in May 2026, outlets note a sequel looks increasingly unlikely.
