Thunderful Group's recent financial report reveals a significant delay for the highly anticipated cyberpunk platformer, Replaced. Initially slated for a 2022 release, the game, developed by Sad Cat Studios, has faced multiple postponements, landing now on a projected 2026 launch date.
Previous announcements cited the game's unique development challenges as the reason for a 2025 release. However, this latest delay, pushing the release date a full year further, is detailed in Thunderful's report, which itself follows several rounds of layoffs within the company.
First unveiled in 2021 during Microsoft's E3 presentation, Replaced has generated considerable excitement and anticipation. Sad Cat Studios remains committed to delivering a high-quality product, despite the setbacks. The studio has offered glimpses of progress, including combat footage and a mini-game showcase earlier this year, maintaining communication with eager fans.
No official statement has yet been released by Sad Cat Studios regarding this latest delay. The extended development timeline, coupled with the financial context within Thunderful Group, raises questions about the project's ongoing development.
