Announcement has been made by Sad Cat Studios and Thunderful that the eagerly awaited action platformer titled “REPLACED” will have a new release schedule. This captivating retro-futuristic sci-fi escapade is slated to land on PC and Xbox Series X|S in Spring of 2026.
In a fresh update video, the team announced some exciting news about the game’s development, giving fans an exclusive peek into the evolution of REPLACED throughout the years, including glimpses of its current state.
As a passionate gamer myself, I can confirm that the anticipation within our community for the upcoming game, REPLACED, has been palpable, and it’s clear we’ve all been eagerly waiting to dive in. However, it’s become apparent that production has taken longer than initially planned. But fear not, dear fellow enthusiasts! Our unwavering dedication to delivering an outstanding gaming experience remains steadfast. I am thrilled to share that the game is nearly complete and set for launch in Spring 2026! Let’s continue our shared excitement as we eagerly await this incredible journey together.
A Dystopian Alternate 1980s
Set in an alternative 1980s America scarred by a nuclear catastrophe, the game places you as R.E.A.C.H., an AI inhabiting a human form. As R.E.A.C.H. acclimates to life as a human, survival becomes imperative within and beyond Phoenix-City – a decaying urban landscape governed by rampant corruption, excessive materialism, and the illicit trade of organs.
The game offers cinematic jumping puzzles, immersive pixel graphics, and seamless fighting sequences. It centers around a solo campaign that combines fast-paced gameplay with a complex post-apocalyptic plot.
Anticipation Building
Ever since its unveiling, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of REPLACED, one of the most highly anticipated independent games in development right now. Previews and trailers have sparked comparisons to modern masterpieces such as Limbo and Inside. In fact, IGN has even hailed it as a potential “indie classic of all time.
About the Developers
In simple terms, Sad Cat Studios, established in 2018, is a European studio with origins in Belarus, boasting a team spread across various European locations. On the other hand, Thunderful – known for publishing games like Planet of Lana and Viewfinder – calls Gothenburg, Sweden, its home base.
REPLACED will be available on PC and Xbox Series X|S in Spring 2026.
