It’s been nearly 20 years since Rockstar Games’ Bully came out, and while there’s no word of a sequel, the next best thing may have dropped: a mod that introduces online multiplayer to the high school action sim.
As reported by IGN, a group of modders has finally revealed Bully Online. Led by YouTuber, developer, and “massive Bully fan,” SWEGTA, the project has been a long time coming, but is inching ever closer to an early-access launch in December 2025 for those who support the team on Ko-Fi. At the time of this writing, it appears the developers have received at least 76 Ko-Fis.
What is Bully Online, though? According to the YouTube video’s description, the mod “allows you and your friends to play minigames, role-play, compete in racing, fend off against NPCs, and much more.” SWEGTA described it in greater detail in the nearly nine-minute video below, stating that it’s a “mix between minigames, free-roaming, and role-playing.” There’s a “fully fleshed-out inventory system,” letting you earn money in-game to spend on Bully goodies from items to housing to vehicles. It sounds like the online modes of other Rockstar games, such as GTA Online and RDR Online.
