Sad Cat Studios has announced that its 2.5D sci-fi story-driven action platformer, REPLACED, will be released on March 12th, 2026. To celebrate this announcement, the team shared a new trailer that you can find below.
REPLACED is a 2.5D action platformer with a strong cyberpunk story. Players will run, climb, and fight through broken city districts, factories, and bright neon streets. The movement will be smooth, and the combat will be fast and responsive. You can combine quick melee hits with powerful ranged attacks to defeat enemies in exciting battles, all while exploring the world at a steady, fun pace.
As R.E.A.C.H. struggles with new human feelings and emotions, the city’s hidden power systems begin to show themselves. The story explores themes like what it means to be human, who you really are, and who has control. The characters will be complicated, and the world will be broken and full of tough choices. Every place you visit has its own story, and every secret you uncover comes with a price.
The retro-futuristic world comes alive with detailed pixel art mixed with modern visual effects. A dark, synth-heavy soundtrack sets the mood. REPLACED promises to offer a single-player story that mixes smooth platforming, fast action, and a tense cyberpunk mystery. It aims to pull you into a world where every secret and every life comes with a cost.
For what it’s worth, Sad Cat Studios has not yet revealed the game’s PC requirements. Since this is a 2.5D game, though, we can safely say that it will run on a wide range of PC systems.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
