Tribute Games might be working on this year's most anticipated beat 'em up (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion), but apparently that's not enough. The Montreal-based developer craves an even bigger piece of the pie, so they've just announced another brawler for next year: Scott Pilgrim EX. That's cool enough news on its own, but much of the talent behind the original Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game will be involved. We can't complain about that!
Who's working on the new beat 'em up?
Reuniting key talent from across the Scott Pilgrim multiverse and timeline, the Scott Pilgrim EX creative team is bringing the band back together and includes:
- Bryan Lee O'Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, is deeply involved in the project as a creative consultant. Working closely with Tribute’s narrative and design teams, O’Malley is helping to shape an all-new original story that expands the Scott Pilgrim universe in bold, unexpected ways—infusing every frame, character arc, and twist with his signature voice and humor.
- Known for their explosive blend of 8-bit and hyper-melodic rock, Anamanaguchi returns to their roots after scoring the hit 2010 game, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. This score will include several all-new tracks specially designed and curated for this Toronto-hopping adventure.
- Iconic pixel artist Paul Robertson collaborates with Tribute’s in-house team on character animations.
- BenDavid Grabinski, director and showrunner of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, joins as creative consultant.

While Scott Pilgrim Takes Off wasn't quite the show the world wanted, I loved it anyway, and it seems that Scott and friends are still popular enough for a new adaptation. Scott Pilgrim EX will feature seven playable characters, with only Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers having been revealed so far. The game will take place in a River City Girls-style interconnected world, and it will support 4-player local and online co-op.
Scott Pilgrim EX will come to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam in 2026. We can't wait! Learn more at ScottPilgrimEX.com.
