'Scott Pilgrim EX' Comes To San Diego Comic-Con, Panel With Series Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley Will Reveal New Game Details

by Rainier on July 15, 2025 @ 2:31 p.m. PDT

Join Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more in an epic brawling adventure across space, time and the streets of Toronto.

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 battling evil exes from Canada to California during San Diego Comic-Con.

Tribute, Universal and O’Malley are excited to share more details and give an exclusive look at the game to Comic-Con attendees through a must-attend panel, ahead of Scott Pilgrim EX’s release in early 2026 on PC and consoles. As if that wasn’t enough, Tribute Games will also be throwing a party featuring a live rock show from Anamanaguchi.

The Scott Pilgrim EX with Bryan Lee O’Malley and Tribute Games panel will take place Saturday, July 26 from 1:30 - 2:30P.M. Pacific Time in Room 5AB at San Diego Comic-Con. The lineup will feature:

  • Bryan Lee O'Malley (creator of Scott Pilgrim, creative consultant on Scott Pilgrim EX)  
  • Jean-Francois Major (president, Tribute Games)
  • Yannick Belzil (narrative designer, Tribute Games)
  • Josh Fairhurst (chief executive officer, Limited Run Games)
  • John Melchior (executive producer, Universal Products & Experiences)
  • And moderator Griffin Newman (Blank Check podcast)

Panel attendees will learn new details and peep an exclusive new look at Scott Pilgrim EX, the first original Scott Pilgrim video game in more than 15 years, as revealed last month during Summer Game Fest. The panel will include an early look at the upcoming 2D brawler’s story, which follows Scott, Ramona and their allies as they fight to save Toronto from three gangs that’ve taken over and now threaten the world. Excited to hear more? You’ll just have to be there.

Along with this panel, Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley will appear at Oni Press (Booth 1829) where he’ll sign a free poster featuring the Scott Pilgrim EX announcement artwork. Signings will take place across three sessions:

  • Thursday, July 24 from 2:00 - 3:30P.M. PT
  • Friday, July 25 from 1:00 - 2:30P.M. PT
