Fusing retro-inspired pixel art with chaotic four-player co-op combat, Scott Pilgrim EX sends players on a wild, time-warped brawling adventure across a reimagined Toronto.
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.
Reuniting key talent from across the Scott Pilgrim multiverse and timeline, the Scott Pilgrim EX creative team is bringing the band back together and includes:
- 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 humor.
- 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," said Jonathan Lavigne, game director at Tribute Games. “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.”
“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.”
