Scott Pilgrim, all his buddies, and the most of the creators who’ve introduced his world to life through the years, are all again for a brand new recreation set for launch in 2026.

As revealed at Summer time Sport Fest on Friday, Scott Pilgrim EX is a “time-warped brawling journey” that sends Scott, Ramona Flowers, and 5 different playable characters battling throughout a Toronto ravaged by robots and demons. The brand new title comes from Tribute Video games, the retro-minded studio fashioned by members of the unique Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Sport crew, and comedian creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, who labored intently on crafting the brand new story.
