Matt Groening hints at possible return of The Simpsons: Hit & Run
At the D23 expo, Matt Groening suggested the original Simpsons: Hit & Run game may reappear, while showrunner Matt Selman gave a non-committal response.
At Disney's D23 event, Matt Groening remarked that the classic Simpsons: Hit & Run video game is likely to return in some capacity. Showrunner Matt Selman responded with a vague "or not," and both speakers' demeanor hinted the remark may have been unintended. The original title launched in 2003 on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and Windows, and while it can be run on newer PCs, it is absent from contemporary console libraries and backward-compatibility lists.
No official HD remaster has been announced, though such a version would not require re-recording the original voice cast. The exchange has sparked speculation among fans about a possible port or full-scale remake.
Why it matters
Fans of the cult classic game may finally see an updated version on modern platforms.
