The Simpsons producer Matt Selmanꦏ has said that he "would love" to see a Hit and Run remaster but that it's "complicated" to make it happen. 🌼;
In an interview with , Matt Selman - who has been a writer for the show since the late 90s as well as co-writer of not only The Simpsons Hit and Run video game, but also The Simpsons Road Rage, and The Simpsons Game - told the outlet: "I would love to see a remastered version of [The Simpsons: Hit & Run], I would [but] it's a complicated corporate octওopus to try to make that happen."
Reminiscing about the development process, Selman also told IGN, "we were all playing Grand Theft Auto at the time and [the] publisher... they just wanted another driving game. And we were like, everyone's playing whatever ve🍰rsion of Grand Theft Auto, people need to get out of the cars."
Selman, who is now co-showrunner of The Simpsons continued: "That was a huge creative battle over wheth🐬er it was just a 'driving around doing missions' game or a 'getting out of the car and doing missions' game. But I do think the bat🐻tle was worth fighting."
Unsurprisingly enough, Selman isn’t the only staff member on The Simpsons who wants to see the 2003 GTA-inspired game return. Back in 2019, Vlad Ceraldi who produced The Simpsons: Hit and Run also said he could see a similar style working in video games today𝕴 noting that: "it would be fun to explore those characters and that universe again, that w꧑ork again."
There were inklings of a Simpsons: Hit and Run sequel had been considered when it was revealed at the beginning of last year that The Simpsons: Hit and Run 2 was in the works at one stage and had a gameplay prototype. However, Hit and Run's senior designer Joe McGinn let fans down gently when he explained why the project never got off the ground statin𒀰g: "We never got very far before EA won the rights to the Simpsons Movie game, so sadly there was nothing we could do but move on."

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to r💃elease a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
