Bully 2: Kevin's Back Jack appears on Game Informer's website [bitch ass fake]

Evidence that it's real:
They took it down which makes it real.

Evidence that it's fake:
-Rockstar never uses subtitles and numbers at the same time.
-They wouldn't announce it for 2017
-Rockstar never hinted at it unlike RDR2
-Who the fuck is Kevin?

Verdict: Some interns were fucking around

We'll get a Bully sequel right after the next Manhunt but only once Rockstar finishes the new Midnight Club
 
Same thing I'm wondering. It might just be a quick damage control thing considering they made a typo with "in" when it should be "an"

It's actually not a typo to say something was done "in error". I also think it would be reaaaaaally reaching to use that to support the idea that this was a "quick damage control thing".

Rockstar would wait until after Red Dead Redemption 2's release to even mention a 'Bully 2', surely.

Maybe a post-Benz Rockstar operates differently, but it still seems unlikely.

- the first game uses subtitle, and this is the sequel
- the 'leak' didn't specifically stated 2017, only Fall, could be 2018
- one game and it's already a rule?
- might be the new main character

-No it didn't.
-If it was Fall 2018 they would specify it as such
-Major products are at least hinted at up front to shareholders like with RDR2
-The new main character can't be back
 
-The new main character can't be back

Yeah he can.

"You play as Kevin, returning from a year away at boarding school."

Could also be the name of a new or rival bully, easy enough to "retcon" him into whatever canon there is by just being like "Oh no, Kevin's back!" Who's Kevin? "OMG you don't know about Kevin???"
 
If this isn't real I'm going to fucking cry.

My first thought was the Kevin it's referring to is Kevin McAllister from Home Alone. Bully is now a Home Alone game!

I really hope Bully 2 exists, the first one is one of my favourite games and there's nothing quite like it. That said, Kevin's Back Jack is a terrible subtitle.

Playing through the original again on BC and I still love the game. Controversial opinion, but I would much rather a Bully 2 than RDR2.
 
Here are my thoughts. GI got some type of early footage of Bully 2, that will be shown at Sony's conference. Either as an advance for the magazine, or for the site. I'm not entirely sure how that works, if major publications get early access to games at E3 to write articles, but I'm sure GI gets some with the magazine. GI and R* have had a good relationship in the past. Three minute long trailer(or so), ends with Bully 2 (space) Kevin's Back Jack in stylized letters. GI person logs it into the site hastily. Includes flair words(not subtitle), puts Fall(2018), puts Playstation(not exclusive, inengine footage from conference, probably says 'captured from ps pro'). Accidentally publics the listing, a listing that would have been added on later, before Mondays reveal.

TeamReal for the meantime, but I'm not gonna be disappointed if fake. Expectations in check.

I think it's real. Not PS exclusive (don't understand why). Subtitle sucks. If it's real I hope it's dropped.

Why make the page otherwise?
