Radical Entertainment and Hothead Veterans Relaunch as New Radical Games

The company is positioning itself for remastering work, with no projects confirmed.

Overview

  • New Radical Games presents itself as the successor to Radical Entertainment and Hothead Games through a newly public website and branding.
  • Ian Wilkinson is listed as CEO and Tim Bennison as COO, with LinkedIn entries pointing to leadership beginning in December 2024 and a site blog dating to April 2025.
  • The studio markets work-for-hire services that include full development, co-development, porting, and a stated specialism in remastering classic games.
  • Fans are calling for revivals of The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Prototype after seeing those franchises featured on the site, but the studio has not announced any projects.
  • Licensing and rights complexities still cloud prospects for a Hit & Run remaster, and earlier community chatter about a Prototype remaster plus unusual PC updates are driving speculation rather than confirming plans.
