This morning ZeniMax Asia put out a press release announcing that they’ll be shipping Bully to PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 on July 24th to Japanese retailers. Developed by Rockstar Games, the critically-acclaimed game allows you to experience the life of a troublesome schoolboy. Originally released on the Xbox 360 in 2008 and the PlayStation®2 in 2006, this is the first time the game will be available to the Japanese market.

In a continued effort to make our websites accessible to folks around the world, this week we launched the Japanese version of our official site.
As you may already know, ZeniMax Asia, is responsible for publishing/distributing Bethesda titles to Japan and other Asian territories — games like Fallout 3, Star Trek: Conquest and Star Trek: Legacy. ZeniMax Asia will also be publishing titles from other developers. As you’ll notice on the homepage, ZeniMax Asia is bringing Rockstar’s Bully to PS2 and Xbox 360.
For more details on ZeniMax Asia, check out the press release we put out back in April.
Thought I’d mention that we put out a release today announcing the formation of an office in Tokyo that will oversee our publishing/distribution in Japan and throughout Asia. It’s being headed up by Tetsu Takahashi (on the left in the photo above, along with Kei Iwamoto, one of our producers), who handed all the heavy lifting in publishing Oblivion PS3 and 360 in Japan last year. Really smart guy with a good team around him.
In addition to publishing Bethesda titles in Japan like Star: Trek Conquest (PS2), Star Trek: Legacy (Xbox 360), and Fallout 3 , they’re also handling games for other publishers like Bully (PS2), Bully SE (Xbox 360), and Major League Baseball 2K8 (PS3/PS2/PSP/X360).
You can read the full press release here. If you can read Japanese you’ll find coverage of the announcement on sites like Famitsu and CNet Japan.
