Recently, a file from the GTA 5 database was leaked, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/billsyliamgta\/status\/1726294582953169074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">a Twitter user named @billsyliamgta<\/a> found a line of code referencing GTA 4, Midnight Club Los Angeles, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Bully 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">GTAV\u2019s PDB leak contains a string relating to Bully 2.<br><br>Credits to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GlowDevs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GlowDevs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WildBrick142?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WildBrick142<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4vDiyTozjn\">pic.twitter.com\/4vDiyTozjn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Liam (@billsyliamgta) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/billsyliamgta\/status\/1726294582953169074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This confirms that, at the very least, work has been done on the game at some point. <strong>As @billsyliamgta himself points out, the file contains content that was discarded and later repurposed for GTA Online, such as the use of jetpacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We know that initially, Rockstar&#8217;s co-founder Dan Houser wrote a script for a Bully sequel back in 2008<\/strong>. Additionally, during 2019, there was development on the game, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/bully-2-release-cancelled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">but after 18 months, it was canceled<\/a>.
