In the most recent financial report from Thunderful Group, which has faced multiple rounds of layoffs, a notable update on the cyberpunk platformer Replaced has been disclosed. The report indicates that gamers will now have to wait until 2026 to experience the game, marking yet another delay in its release schedule.
Sad Cat Studios, the developers behind Replaced, had previously announced a delay to 2025, describing the game's development as a "unique challenge". Originally slated for a 2022 release, the project was subsequently postponed to 2023 and then to the previous year. Despite these setbacks, the studio remains dedicated to delivering a high-quality product, spurred by the game's significant attention and the high expectations of its fanbase.
Replaced was first unveiled in 2021 during Microsoft’s showcase at the now-discontinued E3 event. Since then, anticipation for the game has only grown.
While Sad Cat has not yet issued a statement regarding the latest delay to 2026, the studio has been active in keeping the community informed. This summer, they released combat footage and introduced a mini-game, giving fans a glimpse into what they can expect when Replaced finally launches.
