Replaced: 13-Minute Gameplay Overview

Replaced game director Yura Zhdanovich walks you through three different gameplay segments from Sad Cat Studios' upcoming pixel-art cyberpunk side-scrolling 2.5D action-adventure that's due out for PC and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

[@henokhsatrio8804]

I'm a huge fan of Inside, it's still one of the best experiences in my gaming journey. And this looks amazing!

[@GizmoMaltese]

Is this dual stick game or can you play this with an arcade stick?

[@itsmesfi]

Same

[@Glowbox3D]

Definitely see this inspiration as well. Inside is a masterclass.

[@PaulAllen-rm1in]

I'm still playing Inside all the time.

[@BaliGoBali]

Agreed,....Inside still a masterpiece with own definitely unique atmosphere gameplay

[@YTDSoM]

Animated pixel art + voxel based scenes...oh man, this is promising!

[@juliancastillo]

wow. This is amazing. As a game designer, and as a gamer... this is one of those games that you HAVE to play.

[@endrgar]

This game looks more cinematic than most movies that are coming out these days. It looks incredibly stunning.

[@Juju-cm7ge]

😂what?😂

[@davidbc5023]

Someone is trying to get the likes by saying someone “profound”.

[@trinigooner8865]

​@@davidbc5023 147 people (and counting) disagree with you bro lol

[@redflame300]

most? well duh

[@Hisbaturgi]

Wow your take is so unique you must be very special and important person

[@TheMagnificentOdim]

lots of inspiration from inside... color, atmosphere, gameplay...at the beginning of course..

[@sazio1984]

Replaced looks simply sensational. Have been on the hype train for this since the worldwide reveal. This is easily in my top 3 most anticipated games (alongside GTA VI and Gears of War: E-Day). Cannot wait.

[@rubssi8741]

Well at least we got an update on this game, unlike The Last Night lmao

[@dogemaester]

Last Night dead fr.

[@knowledgeismoney913]

The Last Night is still in development

[@A_e_1]

The Last Night has been... REPLACED.

[@agent2ez]

For real it's crazy how long that game has been in development and we still haven't seen much

The trailer for this at Summer Games Fest years ago blew the roof off the place. People went crazy.

“Inspired by the Batman Arkham series” My ears perked up like a kid on Christmas! 👀 7:36

[@eraticfx]

SOLD!!!!!😂 2D BATMAN!!!! This should be a norm!

[@DesideriusTheSerious]

It'd be decent if they actually implemented the Arkham mechanics. Instead it mainly looks like enemies are damage sponges for the purpose of having counter attacks actually happen.

[@icetmzik]

Yeah, if you haven't played games for the last 15 years, you're probably waiting. But we've been playing this Arkham for the last 15 years. Can we come up with something new?

[@jamescox4008]

@@icetmzik Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League... a game fans wish wasn't a sequel and didn't exist

[@GoNzo4209]

Wow, a game that actually doesn't sacrifice visuals for gameplay or vice versa and actually has BOTH! Amazing

[@MrRadialdrift]

The gameplay looks lame. Like 30 years ago lame.

[@jojo2767]

what visuals is this ? it just regular just like old classic games

[@UsielX]

@@MrRadialdrift agree, wont say its bad since we havent played the game, but it was just moving forward and not actual platforming, It would be great to take more inspiration from castlevania games on this one.

[@Tabac-en-paris]

I’m a third of the way in all all the character has done is run right. Literally nothing else

[@streetough]

Did you make it to the fight scene?​@@Tabac-en-paris

[@dogemaester]

Glad to know that this game is alive. Thank you.

[@ubersoldat91]

The visuals are incredible

[@jfd4706]

Loved the devs presentation here, very unique.

[@BikerBoyUK]

Oh wow, this looks so slick! You can see the care and attention in every frame. Stunning! Looking forward to jumping in when it’s ready 😃

[@Rockovissi]

“Inspired by the Batma…” Sold.

[@assail]

the camera, the transition, the vibes, the action, and the pixels. im sold.

[@Nitr-r7f]

We got GTA 6 before Replaced 😂 In all seriousness, this game is looking amazing and I’m super glad you guys are taking the time to take it the extra mile. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, and a big ol’ THANK YOU for the love you’re putting into this project!

[@LogicalError007]

How the turn tables.

[@GeM-Z-g5o]

Gta 6 is not only u father

[@josu91ita]

Also HL3

[@danieats]

Not a chance gta 6 will be 2026 they never deliver on time

[@mikebrown9051]

It's been 10+ years we should get gta6 before replaced

[@eraticfx]

Best looking 2D game so far. Already a game of the year contender for indie maybe even triple A. These guys should do a 2D Batman game. SERIOUSLY! How incredible would that be?

[@DelBoy573]

I’m getting mad Flashback vibes. Love it!

[@The1theycallghost3030]

Whoa this is one strikingly beautiful looking game

[@Scarphace]

This game is visually beautiful. I'm looking forward to getting hands on with this.

[@SoulKillaaX]

Seems like a modern day limbo or INSIDE ,looks great 👍🏽

[@CharriiiLandak]

Takes so much inspiration from INSIDE, can't wait to play

[@FilleatUT]

Not surprising. Replaced IS INSIDE, just renamed.

[@mikeatmo]

@@FilleatUTthere’s combat in INSIDE? Didn’t know that.

[@FilleatUT]

@@mikeatmo If INSIDE was to be continued instead of being replaced by "Replaced" (heh) who would say there wouldn't be combat?

[@knowledgeismoney913]

This game was inspired from The Last Night

[@deathgun7481]

Moi aussi ❤

[@ChicoAzevedo]

Hope this game will set the bar for more and more developers. This is pure art, passion and care put in a media. Love you guys!

[@anothercat1300]

This looks really exciting and beautifully designed! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

[@EscapeKit]

Рад увидеть прогресс. Игра выглядит завораживающе. Считаю верным решение о переносе релиза. В такую игру хочется погрузится, а полировка деталей всегда лишь идет на пользу этому. Желаю вам успеха в разработке!

[@Jokin_Jake]

The lighting in this game looks incredible

[@baughjaughes5104]

Starting to see why this has taken so long, Looks beautiful and unique

[@BAGELMENSK]

Needs more background sounds, holy moly every scene feels a little empty, the soundscape is so barren. OTher than that it LOOKS fantastic, but I'm not ecstatic about the camera being out of the player's hands to control for the most part

[@thezhdanovich]

Thanks for pointing out. We will be looking into it after Gamescom!

[@BAGELMENSK]

@@thezhdanovich Much luck and success to you and your team sir.

[@OceanMetTheSky]

One of my most anticipated games ever

This art style just blows my mind.😮

Sooooo happy they're actually finishing this. So waiting to get my hands on it

It's so beautiful. Reminds me of that one Dystopian game, "The Last Night" that was trailered once a few years ago and we never heard about it again.
