Revealed on June 6, 2025 at Summer Game Fest, this fresh take on the beloved universe is coming to PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch in early 2026, and it’s already generating serious buzz among gamers and longtime fans alike.
In collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, Montreal-based studio Tribute Games is injecting a modern twist into the classic beat-’em-up formula with Scott Pilgrim EX. This game throws players into a reimagined, time-warped Toronto, where Scott, Ramona Flowers, and the rest of the crew must battle everything from demons to vegan henchmen and robots. The game’s signature pixel art style, explosive combat, and four-player co-op promise a chaotic, high-energy experience that pays homage to the franchise’s roots while pushing it into new, unexplored territory.
Features That Pack a Punch:
- Seven playable characters, each with a full move set right from the start
- Deep customization through upgradeable stats and equippable special items

O’Malley is deeply involved as a creative consultant, shaping a story packed with his trademark wit and unexpected twists. Anamanaguchi is back with a new score, and pixel artist Paul Robertson is lending his magic to the character animations. For Tribute Games, it’s a homecoming; the studio’s founders worked on the original Scott Pilgrim game before launching their own company.

Scott Pilgrim EX isn’t just another brawler; it’s a love letter to everything that makes the series great.
