During the D23 event, Simpsons creator Matt Groening seemingly leaked that the cult classic video game ‘The Simpsons: Hit & Run’ might finally be making a comeback. When asked about a sequel or continuation, Groening hinted that the original game is heading back in some capacity, sparking immediate excitement among fans and a quick backtrack attempt by current showrunner Matt Selman.
Originally launched in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC, the vehicular action title has remained a fan favorite for over two decades. Despite widespread demands from the gaming community for a modern HD remaster, the game has been notably absent from current-generation platforms and backward compatibility catalogs.
It remains unclear whether this potential comeback involves a straightforward digital port or a full-scale remastered edition. Either way, the prospect of experiencing the beloved open-world Springfield adventure on modern hardware has reinvigorated hopes for the franchise’s gaming legacy.
