In the latest financial report from Thunderful Group, which has already undergone several rounds of layoffs, a significant update on the much-anticipated cyberpunk platformer Replaced has come to light. According to the report, fans will have to wait until 2026 to experience the game, marking yet another delay in its release schedule.
Originally, Replaced was set to launch in 2022 but faced multiple postponements, first to 2023, then to 2024, and subsequently to 2025. The developers at Sad Cat Studios cited the unique challenges in the game's development as the reason for the 2025 delay. Despite these setbacks, the studio remains committed to delivering a high-quality project that meets the high expectations set by its eager fanbase and the attention it has received since its announcement.
Replaced first captured the gaming community's attention when it was unveiled in 2021 during Microsoft's presentation at the now-defunct E3 exhibition. Although the developers have not yet commented on the latest delay to 2026, Sad Cat Studios has kept the community engaged by sharing occasional updates. This summer, they released combat footage and introduced a new mini-game, keeping the excitement alive among fans.
For those eagerly awaiting Replaced, the journey has been long, but the promise of a polished, high-quality cyberpunk experience in 2026 continues to fuel anticipation.
