A glimpse at Replaced during Gamescom 2025 cements its status as a standout in 2.5D cyberpunk action. Built in Unity, the game dazzles with cinematic pixel visuals, dynamic camera movement, and atmospheric lighting that elevates its retro-futuristic 1980s setting. Players control R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, navigating Phoenix City after a self-inflicted nuclear event spawns a dark, organ-harvesting dystopia.

Combat blends fluid melee and firearms in a style reminiscent of the Arkham series, enhanced with counter and dodge mechanics, energy shots, and stylish finishers. The world reveals lore through hidden notes, poster fragments, and diary entries that flesh out the haunting environment.

After a long journey filled with creative ambition and regional challenges, the game is now confirmed for Spring 2026 release on PC and Xbox Series X/S (via Game Pass), with refined visuals, environments, and lighting shown in the final trailer.
