The gaming world is buzzing with anticipation as Scott Pilgrim makes a triumphant return to video games. During the much-watched Summer Game Fest live showcase, Tribute Games unveiled their latest project—a new side-scrolling beat ‘em up that promises to thrill fans of the iconic comic series by Bryan Lee O’Malley.

A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Adventure

Say hello to Scott Pilgrim EX, an electrifying homage to retro gaming with a modern twist. From the creative minds behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Tribute Games is ready to offer an exhilarating experience featuring seven beloved characters. Known for masterminding dynamic gameplay coupled with nostalgic charm, this title adds non-linear exploration to the mix, inviting players to roam freely through Toronto’s lively landscapes.

Creativity and Collaboration at the Core

Tribute Games has joined forces with none other than O’Malley himself, along with new art contributions from Paul Robertson and a captivating soundtrack by Anamanaguchi. In a testament to the creative synergy, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off director BenDavid Grabinski lends his expertise as a creative advisor, ensuring rich narrative echoes throughout the game.

A Legacy of Gaming Brilliance

Fans may recall Scott Pilgrim’s last gaming foray in 2010 with Ubisoft’s celebrated Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. This cult classic carved a niche with distinctive storytelling and engaging combat. As cited by Metacritic, the original game enjoyed favorable reviews and later expanded to modern consoles in 2021 with the Complete Edition.

Prepare for Scott Pilgrim EX

Scott Pilgrim EX is slated to launch in 2026, making its mark on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. With vivid artistry and strategic gameplay, anticipation builds to see how this adaptation will reinvent the beloved universe of Scott Pilgrim one level at a time.
