Wearing its obvious Bully inspirations on its sleeve, Agefield High: Rock the School is an upcoming Steam title that seeks to take players back to the year 2002 as a high school kid determined to reach new heights of cool before heading off to college. While Agefield High: Rock the School hasn't released on Steam just yet, users can wishlist the title now.
Bully was originally released in 2006 and received high praise from both critics and players, though Rockstar never followed up the popular title with a sequel. Many fans have asked for a successor to the classic game, but Rockstar has since focused its efforts on creating one title at a time, which doesn't leave much room for games like Bully. Dan Houser recently discussed Rockstar's lack of a Bully sequel, suggesting that the developer simply didn't have enough bandwidth at the time. Instead, Rockstar had its hands full developing titles like Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and Grand Theft Auto 5. While Rockstar may not be able to pursue a sequel to Bully, it seems as if Agefield High: Rock the School is poised to become something of a spiritual successor to the popular title.
Agefield High: Rock the School Could Be the Next Bully
Setting and story appear to be at the heart of what could make Agefield High: Rock the School a big hit with fans of games like Bully. The year is 2002, which immediately may bring some gamers back to the American Pie days of teenage comedies and raucous antics. While there may have been a lot happening in the world in 2002, the story trailer for Agefield High: Rock the School keeps a tight focus on the small titular town of Agefield and its residents, which can be easily divided into cool teens and lame adults.
As Sam, players will have to navigate being the new kid in town who is looking to make the most of his last few months of high school. Agefield High: Rock the School seeks to provide the full high school experience, as parents, neighbors, bullies, and teachers will all try to get in Sam's way of reaching his true teenage rebel potential. The title appears to be full of conflict and drama, the kind that so often feels all-encompassing in the teen-focused stories it has taken inspiration from. While there's no way of knowing what kind of twists and turns players might experience when they boot up the game, it seems to be off to a promising start.
While players may be eager to return to the 2000s in Agefield High: Rock the School, they will have to wait a little longer. According to Steam, the upcoming title is being developed by Refugium Games and will make its official debut during the second quarter of 2026. With a whole new experience to look forward to, many gamers are feeling optimistic about the future of Agefield High: Rock the School.
