As a seasoned gaming enthusiast with over three decades of experience under my belt (and a few gray hairs to show for it), I must say that the Xbox exclusive slated for release in 2025 that has truly caught my eye is Replaced. Now, I’ve seen a fair share of games come and go, but this one, with its captivating blend of cinematic platforming, pixel art, and free-flow action combat, has me intrigued.
Among the highly anticipated video games set to launch in 2025, one that boasts stunning visuals is exclusive to Xbox, but it’s not the kind of Xbox exclusive you might expect. In recent years, the term “Xbox exclusive” has evolved, no longer strictly confined to the Xbox platform due to PC releases and an increasing number of games from Xbox Game Studios being ported to competitors like the PS5. So, while DOOM: The Dark Ages is one of the best-looking Xbox games set for release next year, it might also be playable on a PlayStation 5 when it becomes available.
Despite Xbox games becoming available on various consoles today, there are still some games earmarked to be exclusive to Xbox, or at least console exclusives for Microsoft. Whether this trend will shift in the future is uncertain, but there are several notable examples scheduled for release in 2025. The standout titles include Avowed and Fable, which have generated a lot of buzz. However, what’s even more intriguing is a game that hasn’t received much attention yet.
Originally planned for release in 2022, the exclusive game for Xbox has been pushed back three times, first to 2023, then to 2025, and most recently rescheduled again for a 2024 launch. However, whether it will actually come out next year is yet uncertain.
For those still unaware, the enigmatic Xbox-exclusive game is titled Replaced. Announced for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X, this action-adventure game is developed by Sad Cat Studios and published by Coatsink. Excitingly, Replaced will be accessible through Xbox Game Pass upon its release. As for other platforms, time will tell, but for now, it’s an exclusive to Xbox consoles. And let me tell you, it certainly looks impressive!
In simpler terms, “Replaced” is a game that blends elements of a 2.5D sci-fi adventure, set in a retro-futuristic world, where you assume the role of R.E.A.C.H., an AI forced into a human body. This game offers a mix of cinematic platforming, pixel art visuals, and fast-paced combat, all within a captivating dystopian narrative set in an alternate 1980’s timeline.
In the game’s official summary, it is revealed: “Delve into the enigmas of Phoenix-City while experiencing life from R.E.A.C.H.’s viewpoint, who is adapting to be human in a world spiraling towards decay. Power and corruption govern all aspects of society; those in control view humans and their organs as mere commodities.
