Tribute Games, Universal Products and Experiences and Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley have announced Scott Pilgrim EX, an all-new, action-packed video game entry into the Scott Pilgrim universe.
This successor to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Complete Edition has looked to reimagine the fan-favourite universe with a modern approach to traditional brawlers. Having fused retro-inspired pixel art with four-player co-op combat, you will be sent on a wild, time-warped brawling adventure across a reimagined Toronto.
Playing as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more of the all-star crew, you must battle your way through the demons, vegan henchmen and robots that have overrun the city. Each of the seven playable characters has a full move set from the start, but you can customise your experience through upgradeable stats and equippable special items, making every fighter feel truly personal.
With a brand-new storyline co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and the team at Tribute Games, the experience is set against all-new music from Anamanaguchi.
The project has been able to reunite key talent from across the Scott Pilgrim multiverse and timeline, including:
- Bryan Lee O’Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, is deeply involved in the project as a creative consultant. Working closely with Tribute’s narrative and design teams, O’Malley is helping to shape an all-new original story that expands the Scott Pilgrim universe in bold, unexpected ways—infusing every frame, character arc, and twist with his signature voice and humour.
- Known for their explosive blend of 8-bit and hyper-melodic rock, Anamanaguchi returns to their roots after scoring the hit 2010 game, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. This score will include several all-new tracks specially designed and curated for this Toronto-hopping adventure.
- Iconic pixel artist Paul Robertson collaborates with Tribute’s in-house team on character animations.
- BenDavid Grabinski, director and showrunner of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, joins as creative consultant.
“Scott Pilgrim EX is the culmination of years of experience working on brawlers combined with our intimate knowledge of Scott Pilgrim,” explains Tribute Games game director Jonathan Lavigne. “It’s a full-circle moment for us. The original founders of Tribute Games all worked on the first video game incarnation of Scott Pilgrim before launching the studio in 2011.
“Coming back to this world feels like the most natural thing ever. This game is about friendship, our love of video games, music, and hitting robots in the face with a volleyball. It’s full of lore, references, easter eggs and passion. It’s the Scott Pilgrim game fans have been waiting for.”
Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley adds: “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!”
Universal Products and Experiences senior vice president and general manager for game and digital platforms Bill Kispert adds: “As longtime supporters and fans of all things Scott Pilgrim, we are excited for the return of the franchise to video games. 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.”
Scott Pilgrim EX will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in early 2026.
