Scott Pilgrim EX Announced for Nintendo Switch: New Brawling Adventure Arrives 2026

Nintendo has officially announced Scott Pilgrim EX, a brand-new action-adventure brawler developed by Tribute Games for the Nintendo Switch, set for release in 2026.

Tribute Games, renowned for titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Chaos, is collaborating with Bryan Lee O'Malley, the creator of the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, who is writing an all-new story that promises to delight both series veterans and fresh audiences.

Set in a futuristic Toronto, Scott Pilgrim EX throws players into a city overrun by three rival factions—the VEGANS, the ROBOTS, and the DEMONS.

When shadowy forces kidnap Scott Pilgrim’s bandmates, players embark on a fresh journey through time and across Toronto’s iconic districts, seeking to uncover who is behind the city's chaos. Scott Pilgrim EX offers fans the opportunity to play as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, and five other familiar characters, each with a distinctive combat style.

The gameplay emphasizes fast-paced, improvisational brawling that rewards creative strategy, quick decision-making, and bold combo attacks.

Players can wield a variety of wild weapons, utilize environmental elements, and string together stylish combos to take down adversaries.

As they progress, characters can be upgraded with special badges that enhance stats and unlock unique combat abilities, supporting deep customization and replayability. The game features a series of interconnected levels spanning Toronto, filled with enemies, bosses, and hidden areas to discover.

The multiplayer component allows up to four players to join in local or online co-op, encouraging both solo and team-based action.

Drop-in/drop-out co-op functionality ensures that friends can join the fray at any time, adding to the dynamic and accessible nature of the experience. In keeping with the franchise's musical heritage, Scott Pilgrim EX will showcase a newly composed soundtrack characterized by energetic 8-bit influences and rock melodies—hallmarks of its cult-classic predecessors. Speaking on the game’s design, a representative for Tribute Games noted that the combat system is intended to reward instinct and experimentation, inviting players to master unique move sets and adapt to rapidly changing battles across the city.

Bryan Lee O’Malley, responsible for the original graphic novels, is writing a completely new narrative that both honors the franchise's roots and welcomes newcomers. Scott Pilgrim EX is scheduled for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, with additional details and the first announcement trailer now available.

The collaboration between Tribute Games and Bryan Lee O’Malley signals an exciting new era for the beloved property, making this one of the most anticipated upcoming titles for the Switch platform.
