Toronto, 20XX – And Everything’s Gone Wrong
In Scott Pilgrim EX, Toronto has been seized by three rival factions; the VEGANS, the ROBOTS and the DEMONS. Naturally.
When Scott’s bandmates are abducted by shadowy forces, what starts as another bad day spirals into a dimension-hopping, gang-smashing mission across a fractured version of the city. Space and time twist together, reshaping familiar streets into interconnected levels packed with enemies, secrets and side quests.
Series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley pens this new story, ensuring it feels authentic to longtime fans while remaining accessible for newcomers jumping in for the first time.
Madcap Melee With Flair
Combat in Scott Pilgrim EX thrives on improvisation. It’s fast, chaotic and stylish, coming together to deliver a brawler built around instinct and experimentation.
You’ll string together creative combos, wield wacky weapons and unleash exaggerated special attacks that feel ripped straight from a graphic novel panel. The action rewards both strategic planning and spontaneous button-mashing brilliance.
Seven playable characters headline the roster, including Scott Pilgrim (obvs), Ramona Flowers, Roxie Richter, Lucas Lee, Matthew Patel and more. Each fighter brings a distinct combat style, encouraging players to experiment and find their favourite.
Build Your Fighter, Your Way
What you should find is that progression plays a bigger role this time around. Earn coins through combat and quests, then spend them to customise your chosen character.
Special badges enhance stats and grant unique bonuses, allowing for varied builds across playthroughs. Whether you favour heavy-hitting attacks, agile combo chains or defensive durability, the upgrade system lets you tailor the experience to your approach.
It’s not just about surviving the chaos – it’s about mastering it.
4-Player Co-Op Returns
And we all know, brawlers live and die on co-op, and Scott Pilgrim EX delivers with four-player local and online multiplayer.
Drop-in and drop-out functionality keeps things flexible, making it easy to jump into a session with friends. Solo players can take on the streets alone, but the real magic happens when the screen fills with combo chaos and coordinated attacks.
A Fresh Chapter For A Cult Favourite
Scott Pilgrim EX isn’t simply revisiting the past – it’s expanding it. With interconnected levels, character upgrades and a new narrative thread, this is a bigger, more ambitious outing for the franchise.
Available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (through the Xbox Store), PlayStation and PC for £24.99, it offers a confident return for one of gaming’s most beloved brawling properties.
Toronto may be fractured, overrun and slightly ridiculous, but Scott Pilgrim is back to set things straight.
