Scott Pilgrim EX: A New Beat-Em-Up Adventure from Tribute Games

Tribute Games, the developer behind the fantastic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, is back with its take on another beloved comic book IP. Scott Pilgrim EX is a beat-em-up game set to launch on PC and consoles in 2026.

Game Features and Storyline

This new title represents a significant evolution of Tribute Games’ previous work with the iconic pizza-loving turtles. Players can expect a large map to explore, filled with numerous secrets, seven playable characters, and, most importantly for fans of the franchise, a brand-new story. In this iteration, vegans, robots, and demons have taken over Toronto, presenting a challenge that seems only nominally better than dealing with ex-boyfriends.

Gameplay Mechanics

The developers promise “countless creative combos” and a variety of quests that span “across space and time.” The graphics and soundtrack are both infused with retro aesthetics, appealing to fans of classic gaming.

Historical Context

If the concept of a sidescrolling Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up feels eerily familiar, it is not a case of the Mandela Effect. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game was originally released back in 2010, gaining a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim.

Conclusion

With its engaging gameplay, nostalgic visuals, and fresh storyline, Scott Pilgrim EX is poised to attract both new players and long-time fans of the series. As the release date approaches, more details are expected to emerge, further building anticipation for this exciting new title.
