The Simpsons: Hit And Run Source Code Reportedly Leaked

It follows from a recent showcase by Unreal developer/YouTuber reubs, who ripped Hit & Run's assets into Unreal Engine 5, released a "remastered" demo that showcased 4K graphics and ray-tracing. While that's unsurprisingly been taken down due to "copyright concerns", you can watch the video demonstration here.
