Scott Pilgrim EX, the latest action-packed brawler from Tribute Games, has officially received its Nintendo Switch release date.
The eagerly anticipated title will launch digitally on March 3, 2026, with a physical edition set to follow at a later time.
This announcement was confirmed via both Nintendo’s official website and a press statement from Tribute Games, delighting fans of the franchise who have been awaiting more news since the project’s reveal in mid-2025. Developed in collaboration with original series creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim EX introduces a brand-new story that stays true to the roots of the beloved graphic novel series.
O’Malley has worked closely with the development team to ensure the narrative captures the signature humor and energy that have defined Scott Pilgrim across comics, games, and film.
Also on board are composer Anamanaguchi, returning with energetic new tracks, and pixel animation artist Paul Robertson, further enriching the game’s visual and audio appeal.
Ben David Grabinski, known for his work as director and showrunner on "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off," provides creative consultation. A key highlight of Scott Pilgrim EX is its expansion of the playable roster.
Tribute Games confirmed two new characters joining the fight: Matthew Patel, recognized as one of the theatrical members of the League of Evil Exes, and Robot-01, a fierce creation of the Katayanagi Twins.
Patel will employ supernatural abilities to unleash devastating attacks, including summoning additional arms and "demon hipsters," while Robot-01 dominates the battlefield with rapid missile barrages and swift projectile attacks. Players can look forward to several standout features upon release.
Scott Pilgrim EX boasts seven distinct playable characters, co-op play for up to four players locally or online with drop-in/drop-out functionality, and an entirely original adventure penned by O’Malley himself.
The game emphasizes customization, allowing players to build unique fighter profiles by upgrading their stats and equipping special items.
Environments inspired by Toronto serve as dynamic backdrops as players master combos, wield creative weapons, and face off against new adversaries. Fans of the classic brawler experience will appreciate the inclusion of new Anamanaguchi music tracks, recapturing the infectious 8-bit rock energy of earlier Scott Pilgrim games.
Enhancing community anticipation, Tribute Games revealed the first gameplay footage at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, offering players a glimpse at set pieces featuring both Scott and Ramona navigating a whimsical Toronto landscape. In addition to the digital launch, Limited Run Games has announced multiple physical editions of Scott Pilgrim EX.
Pre-orders are open through September 21, 2025, with options ranging from the standard, deluxe, and ultimate editions—each offering collectible extras from exclusive cover art to comic tie-ins, artbooks, and soundtracks.
