One of the big announcements which graced Epic’s Unreal Fest Chicago 2026 developers conference is that Disney has handed Epic Games The Simpsons franchise from EA. This means that third party developers will soon have the tools to create or recreate “fully authentic” games based on the popular animated series in Fortnite. So we could see recreations of classic The Simpsons games such as Hit and Run etc. The Simpsons game-development tools for Fortnite will be available later this year.
The Simpsons joins Fortnite’s IP Partner Program allowing developers to create “fully authentic” Simpsons games
Wasn’t it previously reported Activision was remaking Hit & Run? I hope it happens no censorship, keep Apu, and cel shaded.
It was just a rumor that started a few weeks ago, but I wouldn’t doubt it. It’ll probably release along side the new Simpsons movie next year.
No it came from VGC which is why it got traction they reported it and heard it.
Unless Activision bought VGC, and made them they’re marketing team, it’s still just a rumor for now. Regardless of how credible the leaker is, unless confirmed by the developer or publisher, it’s all just a rumor.
VGC is a reputable source its the same way Jason Schrier is seen as a reputable source from an official publication are you stupid?
Someone else is already do it
We don’t need Zombie Hit & Run
Instead they should remake Road Rage to piss off SEGA
Why? No one wants that boomer crap but a niche audience and it’s a walking lawsuit whole thing behind that game. Hit & Run would make money.
Yes! Simpsons Hit and Run with proper cutscenes, not the characters standing on the game map flapping their mouths at each other.
They are just telling us “If you want a remake of hit and run, do it yourself!”
It’s going to be AI Epic is all in on AI with UE6 and in Fortnite.
