## Key points

- Matt Groening indicates Hit & Run will return somehow.
- No details confirm a remake, remaster or sequel.
- The 2003 game remains a popular fan favourite.

## Summary

Matt Groening has said that The Simpsons: Hit & Run is “coming back in some form”, raising expectations that the 2003 game will return. The remarks matter because the title remains one of the most frequently requested Simpsons games for a modern revival, although no official announcement has explained what form the project will take.

It is unclear whether the return would be a remake, remaster, sequel or a different Simpsons-related release, and the article suggests Groening may have revealed the information prematurely. Developed by Radical Entertainment, Hit & Run originally launched for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PC, combining an open-world Springfield with driving and mission-based gameplay.
