The Simpsons: Hit & Run Revival? Series Creator Offers Biggest Hint Yet

The Simpsons: Hit & Run Revival? Series Creator Offers Biggest Hint Yet https://ift.tt/n8aFwyN 2003's The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a cult-classic, GTA-inspired open-world game. Fans have been clamoring for a remake, remaster, sequel, or some kind of revival for years. It may finally actually be happening, as series creator Matt Groening offered a tantalizing tease at Disney's D23 event this weekend. A fan in the audience said since Disney is producing a The Simpsons Movie sequel, might that also mean Hit & Run will get a follow-up? Groening, admitting he might be "speaking out of turn," teased, "I think the original game is coming back in some form." This led to cheers from the audience.

But Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a real-time, squad-based mobile RPG, sets out to replicate that sense of scale in the palm of your hands. During my hands-off preview of the game, I got a look at exactly how the gameplay intended to capture that and chatted with lead designer and NetherRealm veteran Mike Lee.

"We designed gameplay off what we wanted it to look like--what we wanted it to represent: the cutscenes," Lee told me. In Onslaught, you'll craft a team of four to five fighters selected from a roster of 50 MK characters and take on a squad of enemies in a standalone story-focused adventure that sees its heroes, once again, fighting to protect several realms under attack. Spread over 10 chapters, the story will unravel over 300 battles that feature the same level of theatrics and high fantasy of its mainline series. Chapters are planned to roll out all the way into 2024, with four chapters available at release.
