Has A Casting Call For Bully 2 Just Leaked?

It's apparently Rockstar's next game after Red Dead Redemption 2...

According to Rockstar Intel, a motion capture casting call for Bully 2 - or I guess Canis Canem Edit 2 if you’re from the UK - may have just been released. Fans have spent years pining and hoping for Rockstar to one day get around to the sequel, which has always looked unlikely considering how slowly they pump out new titles these day.

The developers have always stated how fond they are of the original though, and if these rumours are true, it could confirm other reports that the sequel will actually be their next game after Red Dead Redemption 2. The website allegedly has reason to believe that seven casting calls have been released in regards to the sequel, all related to a “new unannounced video game title with a leading UK games developer, shooting at Pinewood Studios.”

These are for predominantly teenage roles while some reference college professors, which does mesh with Bully’s school-ground setting. They also came with the warning that “mild violence and profanity will be used in scenes with the young performer," and that “the project itself is a thriller/drama and all scenes with the young performer will be handled with sensitivity.”

Of course, this is all purposefully very vague so nobody can definitively say what it is that’s being worked on, but Rockstar Intel have reported that they’ve seen Rockstar staff directly engage with the listings, which does add credence to the rumour that it could be Bully 2. I mean, if it is Rockstar it could also be GTA, but lets face it, there’s nothing "mild" about the violence in that franchise.
