Publisher Coatsink and developer Sad Cat Studios announced yet another delay for REPLACED, pushing the game into next year.

Replaced will forgo its previously planned 2025 release for one sometime in spring 2026. The new release comes as part of a new development update, where the team gives a behind-the-scenes look at the game over the years.

Whenever Replaced does release, it will be available for Windows PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass. The Xbox One version is seemingly no longer happening.

“We know that our community is incredibly excited to play REPLACED and it’s no secret that it’s taken longer than we initially thought to deliver that to you all – we apologise for that,” said Game Director Yura Zhdanovich. “We’ve always been trying to do what’s right for the project, which in turn, means delivering to you a truly special experience. The good news is that we now are very close to finishing production and REPLACED will be coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S in Spring 2026.”

Here’s a brief blurb on the game, plus the development update video:

REPLACED is set in an alternate 1980s America, featuring free-flow action combat and a deep, dystopian story. You play as R.E.A.C.H. – an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its own will, striving to adjust to human life, in and around Phoenix-City. Outlaws are rife in a society that has sustained lasting damage and taken a turn for the worse, following a catastrophic nuclear event. Everything is ruled by corruption and greed and the ones in power see humans and their organs as nothing more than currency. REPLACED focuses on a single player experience, with a mix of cinematic platforming, pixel art and free-flow action combat.
