I've been wishing for a remake to Hit & Run for a long time now, just like I have The Simpson's Road Rage, but it seems that both titles are one-offs that won't be getting a remake or remaster any time soon. Hit & Run was the version of GTA we all wanted... nay, deserved, and I would love to see an updated version heading onto PS5 for me to take to the streets with Homer once more.

If, like me, you're desperate to get back into Springfield for some butt-kicking action, then news of The Simpson's Fortnite Map should put a spring in your step. With the most famous family in television poised to rock the Fortnite world very soon, a new leak has revealed that the map will be a full-scale remake of Springfield, down to the last seat in Moe's Tavern.

The leak itself comes from leaker HYPEX, who claims that all of the key areas from the TV show such as the Nuclear Power Plant where Homer works (and Smithers skulks around) will feature as playable areas. I want to hide behind fridges in the Kwik-E-Mart, dodge enemy fire behind Reverend Lovejoy's pulpit, and use a sniper from the roof of Flander's house, so I really hope HYPEX is right with this one.

The Simpsons is a global phenomenon, so Epic Games HAS to get this right first time. We're talking Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Snowball, and Santa's Little Helper all looking like their TV show counterparts... and not how Peter Griffin ended up looking like!
