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.
This latest delay follows a previous announcement pushing the release to 2025, attributed by Sad Cat to the game's unique development challenges. The game, first unveiled at Microsoft's E3 2021 presentation, has seen its release date shifted from 2022 to 2023, then to 2024, and now to 2026. Despite the setbacks, Sad Cat remains dedicated to delivering a high-quality product, acknowledging the considerable anticipation surrounding Replaced.
While Sad Cat has yet to officially comment on this latest postponement, the studio has provided periodic updates, including combat footage and a mini-game showcase earlier this year. The continued delays, occurring amidst multiple rounds of layoffs at Thunderful Group, raise questions about the game's development progress and the overall financial implications.
