Recently, players once again remembered the "GTA about The Simpsons" that was released more than 20 years ago on consoles, as well as PC. At the D23 event, they asked about a sequel to The Simpsons: Hit & Run. One of the event participants was interested in whether a second "Hit & Run" could appear, as a new full-length "The Simpsons" movie is currently in development.
Matt Selman, showrunner of "The Simpsons," replied: "That would definitely be a pleasant surprise." He is also the co-writer of the original Hit & Run and another game, The Simpsons: Road Rage.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening added:
I don't know if I'm saying too much right now, but I think the original game will return in some form or another.
However, Selman immediately added after his colleague: "Or... no" and quickly changed the subject — recalling how some criticized the game's title based on the franchise:
By the way, one of the first "The Simpsons" games was The Simpsons: Road Rage. And people said: "You can't call it Road Rage — that will encourage aggressive driving." And we still called it that, and when the next game came out — with the subtitle Hit & Run, no one had any problems.
An official remake or re-release of The Simpsons: Hit & Run has not yet been presented. However, "The Simpsons" periodically appear in video games, for example, there was recently a collaboration with Fortnite.
