While an official remake is nowhere on the horizon, we can get a glimpse of how a modern, Unreal Engine 5-powered, remake of the game would look like thanks to developer Reuben Ward, who is working on one. The developer isn’t just improving the visuals but is also turning the game into a proper open-world title with better vehicles, online multiplayer, and more.

The Simpsons Hit & Run was released back in 2003 on PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube, and it is considered one of the finest games based on the popular TV Show ever made.
