The Simpsons Hit & Run was developed almost two decades ago by former Prototype studio Radical Entertainment and released on sixth generation video game consoles. Though it took only one week to create, it only took a few days for the project to be completely dislodged.
Last week, the popular Youtuber recreated the first level of Radical Entertainment's cult-classic 2003 game with 4K graphics and ray tracing capabilities and released a playable demo via his Patreon. Youtuber and developer Reubs has hastily taken down his playable demo of The Simpsons Hit & Run in Unreal Engine 5 after undisclosed copyright concerns.
