Matt Groening hints at possible Simpsons: Hit & Run sequel

At the 2024 D23 fan convention, the creators of *The Simpsons* hinted at a possible revival of the 2003 video game *The Simpsons: Hit & Run*. During a panel, Matt Groening remarked, “I think the original game is coming back in some form,” while current showrunner Matt Selman added a skeptical, “or not.” The tone and body language of both figures suggested that Groening may have inadvertently revealed a forthcoming project, though no official confirmation was issued.

The original title debuted in 2003 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Windows, and while it can be run on modern PCs via emulation, it has not been re‑released for contemporary consoles. It is also absent from the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog and the Xbox Game Pass library, leaving fans uncertain whether a remaster or sequel will be made available on current platforms. The Verge’s coverage of the event noted that the conversation was brief, but the remarks have already sparked speculation among the franchise’s fan base.

Until an official announcement is made, the status of a *Hit & Run* sequel remains unclear. The Verge will continue to monitor updates from Disney, 20th Century Fox, and the game’s original developers for any confirmation of a new release or remaster.
