Unfortunately, Sad Cat StudiosBelarusian development team, officially confirmed this afternoon of May 25, 2022 that Replaced it will no longer be released to the worldwide market in 2022, but has been officially deferred to a generic 2023.

Sad Cat Studios he then published a new message where he confirmed the postponement of the game, which we remember being arriving exclusively on consoles Xboxspecifically Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Series S and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Below you will find the message shared directly by the development team:
Today we make the very difficult decision to postpone Replaced until 2023. In fact, unfortunately the war in Ukraine has had a heavy impact on the development of our game, as most of the authors live in the areas close to the conflict.
