He did it! The The Simpsons: Hit & Run fan who set out to create a remake has finished his project, and all the missions of the open-world game are ready in their new version. However, there's bad news if you were thinking of getting your hands on it because, in reality, you can't play it.
The The Simpsons: Hit & Run Remake - Watch but Don't Play
The YouTuber "Reus" presented the ending of the The Simpsons: Hit & Run remake on his YouTube channel, showcasing mission 10, which marks the conclusion of the project he started some time ago to bring back this title using Unreal Engine, fulfilling the dream of many who played it in its time. Unfortunately, due to precautionary decisions to avoid legal issues, this remake will remain, for now, as a beautiful project on the video platform and nothing more.
A Great The Simpsons: Hit & Run Remake, But Only for Admiration
The reason is that this The Simpsons: Hit & Run remake is a remake in every sense of the word; it means it was built from scratch using Unreal Engine 5 and is not a mod that you apply to the original version. Precisely, there lies its curse, as there is no deception about it. Since it involves manipulation of the original game and does not require having it to run on a PC, the risk of copyright infringement and subsequent legal action is very high. Therefore, Reus cannot distribute it in any way or profit from it.
In this case, since it is not a reverse engineering process protected by law, this The Simpsons: Hit & Run remake and its presentation may fall into fair use territory as it is done for educational and research purposes. So, if you were thinking of playing it, forget about it.
