Sad Cat Studios has decided to delay Replaced into 2024 to avoid “overpromising and under delivering” on its debut title.Replaced features an especially eye-catching yet resource-intensive art direction, with 2.5D pixel character and environments.It is this element that has won over a lot of the fans of the game and, while the developer “[does] understand the game’s scope”, Sad Cat Studios claims it does not want to disappoint in any way.Sharing statement from @sadcatstudios #ICYMI pic.twitter.com/nyxuxJq3Yz— REPLACED (@REPLACEDGame) September 5, 2023“After Replaced‘s initial announcement in 2021 and its follow-up trailer in 2022 we had this incredible high bar of community’s expectations,” said the company in a statement posted to X. “And at this point we knew that we can’t afford to release a sub-par game… This is our first game, and we want to make every aspect of it the best it can be.”Sad Cat Studios underscored that development on Replaced is “at a steady pace” and thanked fans for their continued support for Replaced and their understanding.
