At D23, when asked about the potential for a sequel to the cult classic The Simpsons: Hit & Run game, Matt Groening replied, “I think the original game is coming back in some form,” before current showrunner Matt Selman added, “or not.” The tone in both of their voices and the body language suggests that Groening may have just revealed something he wasn’t supposed to.
The original title came out way back in 2003 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Windows. While it’s possible to get the game up and running on modern computers, it’s not available on modern consoles. It’s currently not in the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog or on the Xbox backward compatibility list. It’s possible that the game could simply return that way, as a direct port. But a more interesting possibility is a full HD remaster. They wouldn’t even need to rerecord the voice acting since the original cast absolutely nailed it the first time around. Alright, mindless drones, return to your ugly families.
