Replaced, a cyberpunk action-platformer developed by Sad Cat Studios, is set to launch on March 12, 2026 for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as on Xbox Series X/S.
Originally planned for release in 2022, the game was delayed due to the conflict in Ukraine and subsequent studio relocation from Belarus to Cyprus.
The game is set in an alternate 1980s with a unique 2.5D style, featuring a blend of pixel art and immersive environments such as grim alleyways, derelict industrial zones, and neon-lit streets in a post-nuclear world.
Players will control R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, navigating a society controlled by Phoenixcity, a sprawling megacorporation. The price of the game is yet to be announced.

Cyberpunk Action-Platformer Replaced Launches March 12, 2026 – Delayed Development Details and New Locale

Sad Cat Studios announced that Replaced, its 2D pixel-art cyberpunk action-platformer, will launch on March 12, 2026. The release date was revealed in a new trailer showcasing the game’s availability on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as on Xbox Series X/S. The price is currently unknown. Originally announced in 2021 and initially slated for release in 2022, Replaced faced delays due to the conflict in Ukraine. Russia’s invasion impacted Sad Cat Studios, then based in Belarus, pushing the release into 2025. The studio has since relocated to Cyprus. Replaced is set in an alternate 1980s and features a unique 2.5D style, blending pixel art with immersive environments. Players will control R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, as it navigates a society controlled by Phoenixcity, a sprawling megacorporation. The game’s environments include grim alleyways, derelict industrial zones, and neon-lit streets in a post-nuclear world. In a message to the community, director Yura Zhdanovich expressed gratitude for players’ patience, stating, “We knew this story deserved time.”
