In the most recent financial report from Thunderful Group, which has faced multiple rounds of layoffs, an intriguing update on the game Replaced has come to light. The report indicates that the eagerly awaited cyberpunk platformer is now set to launch in 2026, marking yet another delay for the title.
Originally, the developers at Sad Cat Studios had pushed the release date to 2025, explaining that the development process presented a "unique challenge." Initially slated for a 2022 release, Replaced saw subsequent delays to 2023 and then to the previous year. Despite these setbacks, the studio remains dedicated to delivering a high-quality product, fueled by the game's significant attention and the high expectations from its fanbase.
Replaced was first unveiled in 2021 during Microsoft's showcase at the now-discontinued E3 event. While Sad Cat Studios has not yet issued a statement regarding the latest delay to 2026, they have continued to engage with their audience. Over the summer, the studio provided updates by releasing combat footage and introducing a mini-game, keeping the community informed and involved in the development journey.
For fans eagerly awaiting Replaced, the extended wait is a testament to Sad Cat's commitment to excellence. As the release date shifts to 2026, the anticipation only grows for what promises to be a standout entry in the cyberpunk genre.
