Unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025, Scott Pilgrim EX, developed by Tribute Games in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, is a new side-scrolling beat ’em up set to launch in early 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Scott Pilgrim EX Revives the Beloved Universe, First Seen in the 2010 Game Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. The action unfolds in a ravaged, time-warped Toronto, overrun by three rival gangs. You’ll follow Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, and five other playable characters in a battle to save the city. The story, co-written by O’Malley, draws inspiration from the Netflix series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023), introducing time travel and fresh narrative twists.

The game supports up to four players in local and online co-op, with each character boasting unique move sets and upgradable stats. Plus, light RPG elements and nonlinear exploration sections let you roam Toronto freely, uncovering its history, “easter eggs”. and special items.

Tribute Games, known for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, brings its retro gaming expertise, while pixel artist Paul Robertson and series director BenDavid Grabinski add authenticity to the project. “This game is about friendship, our love for video games, music, and punching robots in the face,” O’Malley stated.
