Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has finally explained why a sequel to Bully never came to life, revealing that the project was dropped for this major reason. Speaking at LA Comic Con 2025 in a discussion with IGN, Houser said the studio simply didn’t have the creative resources to take on every project it wanted. “If you’ve got a small lead creative team and a small senior leadership crew, you just can’t do all the projects you want,” he explained. Bully 2 was never made due to ‘bandwidth issues’Former developers have previously claimed that Rockstar New England, then known as Mad Doc Studios, worked on early versions of Bully 2. With major franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption requiring most of the studio’s attention, Bully 2 was left behind.
