A new Bully-related application with the European Union trademark and designs office has kicked off a fresh round of speculation on the possibility that we might finally get a sequel to Rockstar’s classic 2005 open-world game.
The new Ohim trademark application — which was filed by Take-Two Interactive on November 20, 2013 — covers the name Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit for use in “video game programs” and just over two dozen other entertainment and marketing products. An interesting feature of the application is that it also includes a “graphic representation” of the mark, which appears to be the school crest from Bully.
Further linking the Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit trademark to the original game is the name itself. Bullworth Academy is of course the name of the boarding school that Jimmy is dropped off at, and Canis Canem Edit (which is Latin for “dog eat dog”) is the original...

While speaking with Polygon about Grand Theft Auto V earlier this month, Rockstar Games’ Dan Houser mentioned that he his interested in developing a sequel to the PlayStation 2 cult-classic, Bully.
“I know I want to [make a Bully sequel]. Well, hopefully, you never know. There’s a lot of directions I could go with that one, it’s funny.”
This is far from the first time that we have heard talk of a potential Bully sequel (the most recent example being a brand new Us trademark application for the IP this past July), so we can’t blame you if Houser’s comments have kicked off a bit of wishful speculation in your mind. Especially, since they have also got our own speculative juices flowing.
The Rockstar co-founder also commented on suggestions that they should make an adult Jimmy Hopkins – Bully‘s teen protagonist — the main character in a future Grand Theft Auto. According to Houser,...

Dan Houser would like to swap cars and assault rifles for bikes and catapults and return to the controversial Bully...
Talking to Polygon, Rockstar's Dan Houser has discussed his love for one of the company’s most controversial titles, 2006's Bully.
The game, which saw players take on the role of Jimmy Hopkins, an adolescent sent to a private school, came under heavy fire for it's depiction of school violence and shady subject matter. As is usually the case, however, the criticism was unjustified, and the game many feared was nothing more than a school violence simulator, was far from it, as Jimmy often found himself defending those who couldn't defend themselves.
This was no morally bankrupt GTA, it was a far more layered affair, with a central character that was genuinely likeable, if not the hero-type most games usually go for.
