To recreate the project’s familiar locations and characters, the author used Unreal Engine 5, adding the Lumen global illumination system, ray tracing, and the Nanite virtualized geometry system. The characters, including troubled teenager Jimmy Hopkins, were created using the MetaHuman Creator tool.
As a reminder, the original Bully was released in 2006 and currently looks outdated. The creator of the video naturally does not plan to release a full version of the project or a mod, but merely demonstrates what the Unreal engine is capable of.
