Description

Scott Pilgrim EX, the eagerly awaited brawler from acclaimed developer and publisher Tribute Games—known for titles like Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge—is making major headlines as a fresh trailer reveals a surprise for Nintendo Switch fans.

The video showcases the addition of two unexpected playable characters to its roster: Lucas Lee and Roxie Richter.

Both Lucas Lee and Roxie Richter are key figures in the Scott Pilgrim universe, famous as two of Ramona Flowers’ infamous evil exes and notable adversaries in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s original comic series.

Contrary to speculation that the new characters would be classic allies such as Wallace Wells or Knives Chau, Tribute Games has instead chosen to highlight characters with roots in the game’s antagonistic side, offering players an exciting twist on established lore.

In the upcoming Scott Pilgrim EX, players will see Toronto overrun with dangerous gangs and members of the band Sex Bob-Omb taken hostage.

Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers are forced into an uneasy alliance with her former foes, including Lucas Lee and Roxie Richter, each introducing their signature fighting styles into the game’s dynamic combat system.

In a recent developer statement, Tribute Games conveyed that the development team is committed to maintaining the vibrant animation and energetic feel that made Scott Pilgrim Vs.

The World a cult classic, while integrating new elements that remain authentic to the source material.

The new trailer highlights the game’s signature fluid animation, meticulously designed levels, and a fast-paced brawler experience tailored for both longtime fans and newcomers.

Key features announced for Scott Pilgrim EX include the choice of seven distinct fighters, each with their own approach to combat, a new narrative penned by series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, and epic battles across interconnected levels populated by fresh enemies and bosses.

Players will engage in creative combos, find and wield outlandish weapons, and use interactive environments to gain the upper hand.

Customization is also emphasized, with players able to spend in-game currency to upgrade their characters, equip special items, and forge unique builds worth revisiting across multiple playthroughs.

Fans of the franchise’s iconic soundtracks will be pleased to know that the energetic band will return with brand new music specifically crafted for this adventure, further amplifying the game’s nostalgic appeal.

Scott Pilgrim EX is slated for release on Nintendo Switch in 2026 and will support local and online cooperative play for up to four players.

Gamers can look forward to dropping in with friends or tackling the action solo as the streets of Toronto come alive with chaos and style.

Both Tribute Games and Nintendo have yet to announce a concrete release date, but anticipation for the Switch launch continues to build.

As more details emerge, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates via official Nintendo Direct announcements and the Nintendo eShop.
