Replaced, the stylish 2.5D action game from Sad Cat Studios, was originally revealed at the last E3 ever back in 2021

Years After Its Announcement, Cyberpunk Action Game Replaced Finally Has A Release Window

In a post on Steam, game director Yura Zhdanovich acknowledged the long wait and shared that the game will be wrapping up production soon. While he still did not give a specific release date, it's a lot closer than we've gotten to this point. In addition, at the end of the video, Sad Cat states that the final game trailer will be coming later this year--which is possibly when we'll get more details.

While game development is always difficult, Sad Cat has faced some particularly unusual external conditions that have challenged the timeline. Originally based in Belarus, the studio's work was disrupted following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Opposing the war and Belarus's support of the Russian government, and concerned about the team's safety under Belarus's regime as a result, the studio relocated to Cyprus in 2022.

The game is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC. While Replaced's price has yet to be announced, it will be included on day one for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
