The Simpsons Hit & Run was "going to be a franchise," according to its developers, who are just as surprised as us that the game never got a sequel.
As revealed in MinnMax's The Oral History of The Simpsons Hit and Run interview (thanks, IGN), which includes insight from former Radical Entertainment developers - such as producer John Melchior, designer Chris Mitchell, lead programmer Cary Briseboi, and more - it seems no one quite knows why we never got a sequel to the beloved game. In the interview, Melchior reveals that at one point, we were going to get up to five Simpsons games from Radical but this sadly didn't end up happening.
