In the latest financial report from Thunderful Group, which has undergone multiple rounds of layoffs, an intriguing detail about the eagerly awaited cyberpunk platformer, Replaced, has come to light. The document reveals that gamers will now have to wait until 2026 to experience the game, marking yet another delay in its release schedule.
Originally, the developers at Sad Cat Studios had announced a delay for Replaced to 2025, describing the game's development as a "unique challenge." However, the game's journey to release has been fraught with setbacks, initially planned for 2022, then postponed to 2023, and subsequently to the previous year. Despite these delays, Sad Cat remains dedicated to delivering a top-tier gaming experience, motivated by the significant attention and high expectations from the gaming community.
Replaced was first introduced to the public in 2021 during Microsoft's presentation at the now-defunct E3 exhibition, generating considerable excitement and anticipation.
Although Sad Cat Studios has not yet issued an official statement regarding this latest delay, they have not been completely silent on the project. Throughout the development process, the studio has shared periodic updates with fans, including a showcase of combat footage and a mini-game this past summer, keeping the community engaged and informed about the progress of this highly anticipated title.
