Simpsons: Hit & Run Sequel Hinted At by Creator

Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, has hinted at a potential comeback for the game The Simpsons: Hit & Run. During the D23 event, Groening remarked, "I think the original game is coming back in some form." His comment was quickly followed by showrunner Matt Selman adding, "or not," suggesting the remark may have been an unintended reveal.

The original The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Windows. The game has since garnered a cult following but is not readily available on modern gaming consoles. While it's possible to get the game running on contemporary PCs, there have been no official releases for newer platforms.

Fans of the game series have long expressed a desire for a sequel or a remastered version. Groening's and Selman's remarks have fueled speculation about whether Activision, the game's publisher, or another entity is considering a re-release or the development of a new installment.

No official confirmations or further details regarding a potential new game have been provided at this time. The comments remain the only indications of the game's future prospects.
