Replaced comes to Xbox and PC in March 2026
Sad Cat Studios and Thunderful’s cyberpunk action platformer Replaced has a new release date.
Unveiled today, the game will be released on March 12 on the Xbox Series X/S and PC. A release date announcement trailer can be seen here. Replaced was announced back in 2021.
Replaced game director Yura Zhdanovich said this about the forthcoming release:
“It feels great to finally have a set date for the release of REPLACED. It’s no secret that it’s taken longer for us to get here than we initially thought and we want to thank everyone for your continued patience and support. We’re looking forward to making it worth your while on March 12th!”
A synopsis for Replaced reads:
Uncover the sinister secrets of Phoenix Corporation, through the eyes of its own creation, R.E.A.C.H. - an AI trapped in a human body against its will. In an alternate 1980s America reshaped by nuclear catastrophe, Phoenix-City has become one of the Corporation’s strongholds - a haven for corruption where outlaws thrive and human life is traded like currency. Step into the role of R.E.A.C.H., expose the Corporation’s hidden agenda, and uncover the purpose behind your creation.
REPLACED is a 2.5D cinematic action platformer wrapped in an intense cyberpunk thriller narrative. Run, climb, and fight through crumbling districts, industrial wastelands, and neon-lit alleys with fluid movement and fast, responsive combat. Chain precise melee strikes with satisfying ranged attacks to take down enemies in high-intensity encounters while keeping the flow of exploration.
Replaced can be wishlisted on Steam right now here.
