A “The Simpsons: Hit & Run” remake fan project has just been completed, featuring finished levels, voice lines, and core gameplay. Unfortunately, this remake project isn’t currently available for players to download, nor will it likely ever will be, due to possible copyright concerns.

The fan project, which was only worked on by a couple of developers, was documented in a YouTube video series by reubs. You can watch the final episode here:

While the game is very much playable at this point, possible copyright concerns may arise should the project be released to the public, which is why it’s likely no one other than the devs themselves will actually be able to play the game.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released back in 2003 for the Gamecube, PlayStation 2, and the original Xbox. Developed by Radical Entertainment, it received positive reviews from critics and became a favorite among many who played it at the time. Its similarities to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, particularly Grand Theft Auto 3, made it resonate well with fans, with the game reaching 3 million copies sold by 2007.

Though we may never get to play the remade version of this cult classic, it’s nice to see passionate fans and devs building projects such as this, as it at least gives us a glimpse at what our favorite childhood games might look like today.
