Developing story first seen 5 hours ago
Matt Groening has said that The Simpsons: Hit & Run is “coming back in some form”, renewing expectations of a revival of the 2003 game. However, no official announcement has clarified whether this would be a remake, remaster, sequel or another project, and the article suggests Groening may have disclosed the news earlier than intended.
The comment is significant because Hit & Run remains one of the most requested Simpsons games for a modern return. Developed by Radical Entertainment, it was released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PC, and became known for its open-world Springfield setting, driving and mission structure.
- Matt Groening says Hit & Run will return somehow.
- Its exact form has not been confirmed.
- The 2003 game remains a fan favourite.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a video game released in 2003, based on the long-running animated television series The Simpsons. Players explored a version of Springfield, completing missions as characters including Homer, Bart, Lisa and Marge.
It was made by Canadian developer Radical Entertainment and released on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PC. Its mix of driving, exploration and comedy led many fans to compare it with open-world driving games of the period.
The Simpsons has had many games over the years, but Hit & Run has retained a particularly strong following. It has not previously received an official modern remake or re-release, so any new project connected to it would attract attention from both existing fans and newer players.
