Insider Hints Activision Is Remastering Hit & Run

During a recent podcast, journalist Jordan Middler told listeners Activision is planning remakes of licensed titles and hinted that a remaster of The Simpsons: Hit & Run ‘is happening’.

Middler made the remarks while discussing a newly announced Spyro game and said Activision appears to be aiming to produce new versions of older licensed games. He also said, ‘The one that everyone’s absolutely desperate for is happening.’

The Simpsons: Hit & Run, released in 2003, is an open-world action-adventure that used the television show’s characters and humor. The game has been the subject of repeated fan requests for a modern re-release or overhaul.

Reports indicate the game’s original developer has re-emerged under the name New Radical Games. That development has been noted by industry observers as a possible connection to any revival.

Activision has not issued an official confirmation of a remaster or remake, and no release window, platforms or development details have been announced. Middler’s comments currently serve as an industry tip rather than formal confirmation.

Further information will depend on any future statements from Activision or from developers involved in a potential project.
