Simpsons Showrunner Says 'Never Say Never' to Hit & Run Remaster

Rights tied up across past publishers and Disney keep any revival unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Matt Selman, who helped write the 2003 game and now runs The Simpsons, told People that fans should not rule out a return, noting its surprise cult status.
  • There has been no announcement of a remake, remaster, or active development team despite renewed interest.
  • Licensing remains the key hurdle after Radical Entertainment’s shutdown and corporate shifts from Vivendi to Activision to Microsoft, with The Simpsons IP owned by Disney.
  • A group using the Radical name recently relaunched to offer remasters, which has stoked optimism without confirming access to the necessary rights.
  • The original title has never received an official modern port and remains locked to its 2003-era GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and PC releases, fueling sustained fan demand.
