With a scheduled release window of early 2026, Scott Pilgrim EX is generating significant buzz among both longtime followers of the franchise and newcomers eager for a reimagined action-packed experience on platforms including the Nintendo Switch. Tribute Games, a studio renowned for reviving classic beat-'em-up gameplay with a modern twist, showcased the first extended look at Scott Pilgrim EX’s energetic action.

The latest trailer offers a glimpse into the game's opening sequences as Scott and Ramona dash through a stylized Toronto in pursuit of their stolen instruments.

This level, set to the backdrop of Sex Bob Omb’s lost gear, sees the characters traversing vibrant urban streets, visiting beaches, and even facing off against time-warping adversaries, all while battling new enemy gangs and the notorious evil exes. Complementing the digital launch, Limited Run Games revealed a trio of physical editions for Scott Pilgrim EX, each packed with exclusive items for collectors and series devotees.

Pre-orders for these editions are open now through September 21, 2025.

The offerings include: - The Standard Edition ($39.99): Features the game on a disc or cartridge, a foil key art cover exclusive to the Limited Run Games pre-order, and reversible cover art by Crisppyboat. - The Deluxe Adventure Edition ($64.99): Adds a tie-in comic by creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, a CD soundtrack, and a special deluxe box with art by Matias Bergara to the standard physical package. - The Ultimate Adventure Edition ($174.99): Takes the collection further with an exclusive replica Game Goose box, a reversible poster with artwork from Bryan Lee O’Malley and Matias Bergara, a hardcover artbook and strategy guide, an acrylic diorama featuring Scott and Ramona figures, and a pixelated commemorative coin. Scott Pilgrim EX is set to rejuvenate the beloved universe with robust, hard-hitting 2D combat and detailed character progression.

Players will be able to take control of Scott, Ramona Flowers, and five additional characters, each with a full array of combat moves available from the outset.

The experience is designed for customization, allowing fighters to evolve through upgradable stats and special equipment.

The game will support co-op play, encourage creative combos, and deliver a new, original storyline co-authored by Bryan Lee O’Malley. Notably, Scott Pilgrim EX boasts the return of the acclaimed chiptune band Anamanaguchi, who are composing a fresh soundtrack blending 8-bit sonics with modern rock vibes.

The pixel art direction is bolstered by Paul Robertson, whose animations helped define the visual identity of previous Scott Pilgrim games.

In addition, Ben David Grabinski, best known for his role as director and showrunner of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, joins as a creative consultant, ensuring continuity and authenticity for the franchise. With celebrated talent collaborating alongside Tribute Games, Scott Pilgrim EX aims to be a must-play title for fans of the genre when it launches on Nintendo Switch and other platforms in early 2026.
