Newly discovered leaks appear to provide a clue into the existence of Bully 2 as well as reference the alleged story DLC for GTA V.
The leaked Program Database (PDB) file and debug executable offer a rare glimpse into the game’s development and scrapped concepts, including potential references to the long-speculated ‘Bully 2’. The PDB file, essential for debugging, contains detailed information that maps the game’s compiled code back to the human-readable source code. This information is crucial in understanding the game’s internal workings, from basic operations like character movements to complex gameplay mechanics.
Fans who have analyzed the leak have discovered various new pieces of information, including a text string that mentions ‘Bully 2’. This reference, along with other notable titles such as Grand Theft Auto 4, Midnight Club Los Angeles, and Red Dead Redemption 2, has sparked conversations about the possibility of a sequel to Rockstar’s 2006 hit game, ‘Bully’. The original game was popular for its unique setting in a fictional school environment and has built a dedicated fan base over the years, many of whom have been eagerly anticipating a sequel.
The leaked files related to ‘Bully 2’ reveal more than just that game. They also contain information about unused or modified content in GTA 5. For instance, the files mention Trevor using a jetpack. This idea seems to have been intended for the game’s story DLC but was eventually utilized for GTA Online missions such as the Doomsday Heist. There is also a reference to the Cops ‘n’ Crooks mode that was rumored to have been shelved back in 2020.
There is a lot of speculation about whether the leaked information is authentic and how old the database file might be. Rockstar Games has not yet made an official statement regarding the leak or what it might mean.
