Rockstar Won’t Make Bully 2, But A New Game Will Let You Relive The Horrors Of High School

Overview & Key Takeaways

Although Rockstar Games is not returning to its Bully franchise anytime soon--at least not that we know of--another game is coming out soon that will allow you to relive the horrors of high school.

Agefield High: Rock the School, from developer Refugium Games, is launching on August 12 via Steam, the studio has announced. The "raunchy 2000s-era comedy" game has players trying to become the "big man on campus."

Agefield High takes place in a small-town high school, and you play as Sam in his senior year. There are 30+ main missions focused on "humor, rebellion, and teenage drama," and players can explore the game's open world, including its school campus, town center, neighborhoods, and countryside.

In terms of leaning into its raunchiness, in one part of the trailer, a character says to Sam, "Just like in the movies, you sneak in, wait until she starts showering, then snap a quick photo." The trailer also shows that players will be able to fight jocks by punching and kicking them, mow the lawn, play guitar poorly, and run through a field to escape an angry cow (presumably after attempting to tip it over, as the youth are known to do).

The game also has multiple endings. Agefield High launches August 12 on Steam and will hit consoles later.

As for a new Bully game, Rockstar hasn't announced one, but the 2006 game has a cult following and many would like to see it come back in some form. Rockstar has said it didn't make a sequel to Bully due to bandwidth issues, among other things. Bully is included with GTA+, so anyone with a membership can play it at no extra cost.

Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues

A big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/) on Steam, and it's off to a hot start. The shooter reached 300,000 peak concurrent users on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed) right out of the gate and the $40 game is currently Steam's No. 1 best-seller. Pretty impressive for a game that the developer told you not to buy(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shooter-climbing-steam-charts-lists-10-reasons-not-to-buy-it/). Given the flood of players, developer Bulkhead instituted a server queue system, and this quickly became something of a meme on social media. Players shared screenshots of the queue and their place in it--some people reported having more than 300,000 people in line in front of them(https://x.com/ModernWarzone/status/2098098285244207270). Yeesh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpQnZgZCIo8 Bulkhead responded to the brutal queueing situation, saying it was partly due(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098088030686879852) to the developer being "rate limited." The company said it was working with Valve to resolve this limit and get an increase in line with "larger titles." Things got worse, temporarily albeit, for some, as Bulkhead made the decision to kick everyone from the queue(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098096580670759056) as a fix that, in theory, would help more players get into the game faster. Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer gave an update on the queuing situation, saying the queue itself is not "specifically broken," but instead he said Wardogs didn't get the kind of treatment that AAA games receive when it comes to rate limits. "Hang in there," Brammer said. https://twitter.com/Brammflakes/status/2098101353595724112 That wasn't the extent of the launch-day issues, as people reported getting banned for seemingly no reason. Bulkhead said it's aware of these "incorrect bans"(https://x.com/WARDOGS/status/2098080435687317592) and is working to address them immediately. Wardogs is a large-scale military FPS featuring 100 players, divided into three teams, on a map battling it out in a fictional version of Eastern Europe. In addition to launching Wardogs into early access, Bulkhead revealed that the game's console edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be released in 2028.
