Those who played the first Scott Pilgrim game, in its original or remastered forms, know just how fun it was brawling one’s way through a stylized version of Toronto. Now, we fans can return to the city the Maple Leafs make miserable, in the newly announced adventure brawler, Scott Pilgrim EX.
Through up to four player co-op, players will have to take Toronto back from three different gangs who are attempting to control it. Such is the plot of Scott Pilgrim EX, which reimagines the characters and its source material.
Tribute Games is currently working on this project, and is planning to release it onto PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. Expect it in 2026.
“Scott Pilgrim EX reimagines the fan-favorite universe with a modern approach to traditional brawlers. Players take on the role of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more of the all-star crew to battle a variety of enemies in a warped version of Toronto overrun by demons, vegan henchmen and robots in an epic quest to save the city.
With hard-hitting combat and explosive art, Scott Pilgrim EX reinvents classic 2D brawling for a new era, blending high-energy action with fun character progression. Each of the seven playable characters features a full move set from the start, but players can customize their experience through upgradeable stats, and equippable special items making every fighter feel truly personal. Players will be able to dive into a brand-new storyline, co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and the team at Tribute Games. They can also unleash creative combos, wield wild weapons, and brawl through co-op action—set to all-new music by Anamanaguchi —as Scott Pilgrim EX delivers a bold new chapter for longtime fans and newcomers alike.”
“Working on a game like this is a dream come true, especially with this team of old friends and new collaborators. Scott Pilgrim fans won’t know what hit them in the slightest! EX-pect the un-EX-pected!” said Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley.
“As longtime supporters and fans of all things Scott Pilgrim, we are excited for the return of the franchise to video games,” said Bill Kispert, SVP & General Manager, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. “These undeniably unique characters kick a** in the interactive format, and we are thrilled to partner with this amazing group of creatives to bring a new chapter of Scott Pilgrim to life.”
