For fans of the game, Reubs on YouTube[0] has been remaking the entire game and all its assets using modern engine/tools/etc. It’ll obviously (but regrettably) never get released to the general public, but it’s fun to watch and see what maybe could’ve been.

I don't understand that, why spend so much time making something only to never release it?

  He even pay for the 3D graphics! Essentially he is making ad money, boost his subscribers counts and he is marketing his product sold on the Unity Store.

  The product that he is releasing are the videos of him remaking the game.

    The YouTuber is a video game developer who sells a premium tool and courses for other video game developers. The videos are an excellent form of content marketing.

      To be fair, those courses are pretty new. I watched along since the beginning and I think he added the course advertisement a few months ago

  For fun? To learn? Having an engaged audience of over 1/4M also helps.

  You state you will never release it avoid take down, and then when it’s done you “accidentally” get “hacked” and let the Streisand effect handle the rest. It’s either that or developing a remake in complete secrecy and drop it on the internet as a fait accompli. For examples of what happens if you don’t employ underhanded tactics, take a look at AM2R or the Chrono Trigger remake.

  Seems like a fun and clever way to market his game development course

  Releasing the videos scratches the itch enough.

  Errr, the quote this is going off of was someone asking an original team member if they'd support a remake and they said "I'd love to see it". I'd love to see lots of things but that doesn't mean any of those things will ever be real

    The producer seems to be also inclined to do a remake: https://www.nme.com/news/simpsons-hit-run-producer-hints-game-remastered-2555412 https://www.nme.com/news/simpsons-hit-run-producer-hints-gam...
