The Simpsons: Hit & Run Writer Does Not Rule Out a Re-Release

Matt Selman, a creative powerhouse behind The Simpsons with credits on nearly 600 episodes, the feature film, and numerous interactive titles, recently weighed in on the prospect of resurrecting the beloved classic, The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Interest in a potential remake has reached a fever pitch following news regarding the re-emergence of the studio that first brought the game to life.

“Hit & Run is such a fascinating case study. I helped pen the script in my mid-twenties, and at the time, I had no inkling it would eventually achieve such massive cult status. Among the vast library of Simpsons games, that one stands alone.”

“It was a lifetime ago, but I vividly recall our early creative sessions. GTA III had just revolutionized the industry, and we were adamant that our game become the Simpsons’ answer to that experience. We fought a grueling battle just to allow players to exit their vehicles; the developers were initially quite resistant to the idea. Fortunately, we prevailed, because exploring the world on foot is where the magic happens.”

“While there are no concrete plans yet, my official stance is ‘never say never.’ We are well aware of the fans’ enduring passion and their desire for a comeback, which is always a great starting point.”
