REPLACED

REPLACED has occupied a permanent spot on most anticipated lists since its stunning pixel-art debut years ago, promising a gritty reimagining of the cyberpunk genre. Developed by Sad Cat Studios and published by Thunderful Publishing, this 2.5D action-platformer is currently slated for a 2026 launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Players take control of R.E.A.C.H., an artificial intelligence unwillingly forced into a biological body during a bleak, alternate-history 1980s. The game stands out for its hyper-detailed lighting and fluid combat, set against the backdrop of a decaying America still reeling from a catastrophic nuclear event that reshaped society into a corporate dystopia.
