Bully Alternative Gameplay Trailer Released: Out This Year

Refugium Games has released a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming title, Agefield High: Rock the School, confirming that the game is scheduled for release later in 2026.

The project is positioned as a spiritual successor to the Bully series, an open-world experience focusing on high school life. The latest footage showcases the game’s progression since it was first introduced in 2025, featuring a voiceover style reminiscent of Rockstar Games.

Development and Gameplay Details

Agefield High: Rock the School allows players to relive high school days within the town of Agefield. As an indie project, it leverages an open-world format to emulate the gameplay loop and atmosphere associated with the Bully franchise.

The game is developed by Refugium Games and is targeted for PC and Steam platforms. The developer has focused on evolving the project’s visual and mechanical state over the past year to prepare for its 2026 launch.

Market Context and Inspirations

The title explicitly draws inspiration from the original Bully, which was released 19 years ago. By filling the void left by the lack of an official sequel to that series, Refugium Games is targeting a specific niche of players interested in school-based open-world simulations.

The game’s identity as a Bully alternative is central to its marketing, with the latest trailer further emphasizing its connection to the genre’s established tropes and presentation styles.

Availability and Platforms

While the game is slated for a 2026 release, the primary platforms identified for the title include:

• PC
• Steam

The project has been under development since at least 2025, with the most recent gameplay demonstrations highlighting the transition from early conceptual stages to a more polished, playable state.
