Tribute Games, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, has revealed more details about Scott Pilgrim EX, their upcoming cooperative adventure and brawling game. Tribute Games revealed a teaser during a Nintendo Direct, followed by a gameplay preview. Originally announced as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World EX, the game is set in a futuristic (20XX) Toronto, now under the control of three gangs: the Vegans, the Robots, and the Demons. The official release date is March 3 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players can currently download a beta demo on Steam. The new trailer highlights the game’s story, rhythmic exploration, and missions.

Scott Pilgrim EX features an expanded version of Toronto filled with video game references and characters from the Scott Pilgrim franchise. Players can explore the city freely, completing missions offered by NPCs, and earning rewards that alter gameplay. The game features seven playable characters with unique moves, including Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, her exes Roxie Richter, Lucas Lee and Matthew Patel, fan-favorite Robot01, and one yet-to-be-revealed character. Up to four players can team up locally or online, choose their favorite fighters, and protect Toronto. In Scott Pilgrim EX, members of the band Sex Bob-omb are kidnapped, and their instruments stolen as the city is terrorized. Scott, Ramona, and their allies must journey through Toronto, from its streets to its beaches, and perhaps even through time, to save their bandmates, the city, and the world. Players will battle through a Toronto shaped by video games, completing missions and defeating gangs to take back sectors of the city. They can use each character’s unique abilities, along with items found within the interactive environments (such as baseball bats and demonic staffs) to defeat enemies.
