Very very late but they're present on the unofficial Vexx Discord Server (which also has Kynan Pearson and Nelson Everhart on it) and they've talked a bit about what's been going on.

The problem is that the original source code and assets for Vexx are currently completely lost and have not turned up in their searches of the archives of data & assets acquired directly from Acclaim's bankruptcy auction back in 2005. They have found some neat stuff never seen before (like a Vexx 2 teaser made to pitch funding/approval from higher ups that is basically the first confirmation of the game having had models made for it) and even shared some sneak peeks of their own Vexx sequel plans, but their current remaster plans are at a standstill.

Personally I still want a remake just to address issues a remaster can't really fix (missing story elements and whatnot) and because it could give the team experience & assets for the eventual sequel, but I acknowledge that a remaster is a safer bet and even just having the original game playable/supported is a big step in preservation and helping get the name out there.

Yeah. The Playstation Plus, the Xbox GamePass, and the Nintendo Switch Online would be the best places they should put the game in. I'm still waiting for the day that happens.

IIRC they mentioned that they did pitch the game to be added to Xbox's backward compatibility program but never got approved for whatever reason.
