Tribute Games, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and the legendary Bryan Lee O’Malley, has announced Scott Pilgrim EX, a new side-scrolling beat 'em up inspired by the Scott Pilgrim universe.

Set in a distorted and temporally “glitchy” version of Toronto, Scott Pilgrim EX blends retro pixel art, fast-paced action, co-op for up to four players and a new original story co-written by O’Malley himself. Players can choose among seven playable characters, including, obviously, Scott and Ramona, each with unique moves, customizable gear and RPG progression.
In this new version of the narrative universe, Toronto is teeming with demoni, robot e vegani molto arrabbiati. Fights powered by combo creative and armi folli will be accompanied by an original soundtrack from the mitici Anamanaguchi, who return after the success of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game in 2010.
The team behind Scott Pilgrim EX is a superband interdimensionale of the brand:
-
Bryan Lee O’Malley (creator of the original series) is involved as creative consultant;
-
Paul Robertson, the guru of pixel art, brings the visual side to life with his iconic style;
-
Anamanaguchi releases a new soundtrack that blends chiptune and rock energy;
-
BenDavid Grabinski, creative consultant for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, is also supporting as another creative consultant.
A project born from friendship and passion for beat 'em up games, as confirmed by Jonathan Lavigne, game director at Tribute Games:
“This is the game fans of Scott Pilgrim have been waiting for. It’s packed with stories, references, Easter eggs, and yes, robot punches to the face with volleyball balls.”
Scott Pilgrim EX is not just a revival, but a true expansion of the narrative universe, rich with alternative timelines, known faces and new dangers. It’s designed for both veterans of 2010 and those approaching this unique world of music, love and chaos for the first time.
Scott Pilgrim EX is due for early 2026 on PC and console.
