The game is still in development, but there are already videos available on YouTube that show an early version of what this project will look like when it’s finished.
Ward says that they plan to make an interconnected version of the entire game instead of just remaking individual levels.
The 2003 version of The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a cult classic. Now, expect a new open-world setting, online multiplayer, improved vehicle physics and better graphics.
The remake will also change the missions, in-game dialogue and cutscenes via a narrative tool developed by Brian Ward himself.
The game has been in the works for over a year now, and its developers are working hard to produce something that lives up to expectations.
The original game was released in 2003, but over 10 years later the source code leaked online.
The original game was developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Vivendi Universal Games back in 2003.
The original game was set in Springfield, where players could drive around town in their choice of vehicles and take part in missions where they helped out the Simpson family.
In August last year, the source code for The Simpsons: Hit & Run was shared online.
Showrunner on The Simpsons Matt Selman previously stated that they'd love to see a remake of the game happen, but added that it's a complicated corporate octopus to try to make it happen.
The new version of the game will be built using Unreal Engine 4 and is being developed for PC and console platforms.
The remake will feature all-new graphics, songs, voice acting, characters, and environments.
