Players will not only revisit familiar faces and locations but will also experience inventive combos, new weapons, and co-op multiplayer—ideal for fans of both the original game and classic beat-'em-ups.

The action will be propelled by a soundtrack from Anamanaguchi, who return to blend 8-bit sounds with their signature energetic, melodic rock, ensuring a true Scott Pilgrim audio experience. Notably, pixel artist Paul Robertson is contributing to the game's character animations, adding further pedigree to the project given his prior acclaimed work on the franchise.
