Nearly two decades have passed since Bully first shook up the gaming world with its bold take on high school chaos, and fans have never stopped asking for a sequel. Rockstar Games may have gone silent, but Refugium Games has decided to fill that void with Agefield High: Rock the School a spiritual successor that looks and feels like the comeback fans have been craving.
Slated for an early 2026 release on PC via Steam, Agefield High: Rock the School throws players into the dusty halls, cracked sidewalks, and restless classrooms of Agefield. The main character, Sam, is on a mission to conquer the final three months of high school before graduation, and nothing is off-limits. Whether it is skipping class, challenging the school system, or charming his dream girl, Sam's journey is as chaotic as it is nostalgic.
At first glance, the game's DNA clearly borrows from Bully, offering a blend of teen rebellion, open-world mischief, and choices that shape the story. But this game brings more than a throwback. It offers a slice of early 2000s youth culture that hits hard for those who grew up with PS2 classics. From outfit customization to back-alley brawls, Agefield High takes the core spirit of its predecessor and gives it a slick, updated identity. Players can roam the town freely, hop on a bike, ditch class for a tattoo or haircut, or face detention if caught by the school’s watchful eye.
Mechanically, the game plays like a lighter version of Grand Theft Auto tailored for a younger crowd. Classes are still part of the experience, and players will need to juggle academic quizzes with reputation-building street moves. The more you earn through side missions, the better your style and gear get. But be careful truant behavior draws attention, and the local police are always looking to haul you back to school. If you ever dreamed of a game that lets you fight bullies, flirt with crushes, and rule the school, this is it.
The game’s nostalgic design is more than just a stylistic choice. It is a love letter to the era that brought us quirky, edgy student-life games with personality. From the baggy jeans to the pop-punk attitude, every detail in Agefield High tries to remind players of a time when open-world games were fun because they were unpredictable. Even the humor pays tribute to the scrappy charm of early 2000s games, offering a dose of irreverence without going overboard.
Players who dive into Agefield High will also have the option to chase one of two endings, adding replay value and giving meaning to the choices made during Sam’s eventful semester. This is not just about fighting your way through school but about figuring out who Sam becomes along the way.
With buzz already growing around the Steam wishlist page, Agefield High: Rock the School might just deliver the high school gaming experience people have been begging for. Whether you loved Bully or simply miss a time when games were raw, rebellious, and ridiculously fun, this might be the breakout hit that brings that energy back.
