Simpsons: Hit & Run Designer Loves Fan-Made Futurama Re-Skin

The article discusses a fan-made mod that transforms The Simpsons: Hit & Run into a Futurama game. The project, known as Futurama: Hit & Run, has been in development since 2021 by the Slurm Team. The mod has now released its first demo, which has received the approval of Joe McGinn, the lead designer of the original Simpsons game. The demo is available for free, but players need to own a copy of The Simpsons: Hit & Run on PC to use it. The trailer shows the town of Springfield being transformed into New New York, and players take on the role of Philip J. Fry. While Futurama had its own video game in 2003, the franchise has had limited opportunities in the gaming realm since then, with only a few crossover events. The article also mentions that McGinn has indicated his support for an official Simpsons: Hit & Run remake, but the fan-made Futurama: Hit & Run mod is the closest thing to that for now. Additionally, there are rumors that The Simpsons may be coming to Fortnite in the near future, possibly as soon as November 1.
