Futurama Total-Conversion for The Simpsons: Hit & Run Releases Playable Demo

The community-built release fills a void left by the series' rights limbo.

Overview

  • The demo is now available on Mod Bakery for PC players who own the original The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Lucas' Mod Launcher.
  • Slurm Team’s total conversion replaces models, levels, and music, transforming Springfield into New New York with tubes, sewers, missions, races, vehicles, skins, and a custom map.
  • The current build uses AI-generated voice lines, with the team stating that future releases will feature performances from real actors.
  • The launch trailer drew strong attention online and earned public praise from original lead designer Joe McGinn.
  • An official remake or re-release remains uncertain due to tangled publishing rights moving from Vivendi to Activision to Microsoft while Disney holds the TV franchise.
