Join Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers in a brand-new brawling adventure across space, time, and the streets of Toronto!
Toronto, 20XX. The city has been taken over by 3 rival gangs – the VEGANS, the ROBOTS, and the DEMONS. But who’s behind this madness? When Scott Pilgrim’s bandmates are abducted by shadowy forces, a brand-new adventure begins!
Scott Pilgrim EX is an action-adventure game where players can fight as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more as they battle through the fractured time and space of Toronto. The combat gameplay is driven by instinct and improvisation – a hectic ballet of fists and flair that rewards strategy, spontaneity, and a good bit of brawling chaos. String together stylish combos, experiment with wacky weapons and unleash over-the-top special attacks. Characters can be upgraded with special badges that enhance their stats and grant special bonuses. Players will explore a whole city of interconnected levels to meet old and new faces, complete quests, and discover hidden areas. Multiplayer co-op, local or online, lets up to four players join in on the action, making it a fun, dynamic experience.

Update: Tribute Games has now confirmed the date and revealed new details
Developer and publisher Tribute Games (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge), in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, today revealed that Scott Pilgrim EX will be launching digitally on March 3 via a brand-new trailer for the high-energy beat ’em up-style adventure to save Toronto.

Today’s brand-new fighters coming to Scott Pilgrim EX are two more former enemies of Scott and Ramona: Matthew Patel, a member of the series’ iconic League of Evil Exes, and Robot-01, a creation of two members of the league, the Katayanagi Twins, built to beat the snot out of Scott.
- Matthew Patel brings theatrical flair and mystic chaos to the battlefield. With a style that blends fire and ritualistic showmanship, Patel manipulates the flow of combat like a puppet master – using his summoned demon hipsters to distract enemies, control crowds and lay traps that can tip the scales in his team’s favor. His supernatural abilities allow him to call forth extra arms, launch flame bursts and unleash devastating finishing moves imbued with mythic power.
- Robot-01, meanwhile, is all precision and punishment – rocketing across the screen with thrusters and transformations, delivering brutal blows at blistering speed. A combat unit built for mayhem, Robot-01 morphs mid-battle, fires long-range blasts and unleashes a powerful strong attack that rains explosive projectiles across the screen, clearing out crowds in a flash.
In Scott Pilgrim EX, members of Toronto’s coolest band, Sex Bob-omb, are kidnapped and their instruments stolen as the city is terrorized by demons, vegans and robots. Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and their gang of unlikely allies must bash their way across the city, from its streets to its beaches and even back in time to save the band, the city and the world. A total of seven playable fighters will be featured, with Scott and Ramona set to gain one final ally ahead of Scott Pilgrim EX’s release.
Battle it out across a wild, video game warped Toronto with bursting colors and deep-cut Scott Pilgrim references, completing quests while defeating the gangs that rule over different parts of the city. Enemies can be dispatched with each character’s unique, upgradable toolkit, or with different items found in the game’s highly interactable environment, from baseball bats to demonic rods, turnips and more. Featuring a brand-new storyline co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and the team at Tribute Games, as well as all-new music from Scott Pilgrim alumni Anamanaguchi, Scott Pilgrim EX delivers a bold new chapter in the franchise for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Scott Pilgrim EX is launching digitally on PC and consoles March 3 with physical editions coming soon. Keep up with the latest from Tribute Games and Scott Pilgrim EX at https://linktr.ee/tributegames
