Oh, great, another Scott Pilgrim game. 🙄 Tribute Games, in their infinite wisdom, teamed up with Universal Products & Experiences to unleash Scott Pilgrim EX upon the unsuspecting masses at Summer Games Fest 2025. Because what the world REALLY needs is more Scott Pilgrim, amirite? 🤷♀️
Apparently, Bryan Lee O’Malley (who, let’s be honest, probably needed the cash 💰) cooked up a “brand new story” where Toronto is being terrorized by, like, three whole gangs! 😱 It’s up to Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers, those paragons of maturity and responsibility, to save the day with their mad kung-fu skills and video game “know-how.” Because beating up people is ALWAYS the answer. 👊 The game promises to “reimagine” the universe with a “modern approach” to brawlers. Translation: they probably added microtransactions and loot boxes. 💸
And of course, because nostalgia sells, it’s got Tribute Game’s signature 16-bit style. 🕹️ Seven “fan-favorite” characters (because who needs originality?) and “seamless” four-player drop-in co-op (prepare for lag and rage-quits!). Each character has a full move set from the start (wow, groundbreaking!), but you can “customize” them with upgradeable stats and equippable items. Because grinding is fun, right? 🙄 And get this: new pixel art from Paul Robertson and new music from Anamanaguchi! Because that’s what REALLY matters in a game – the window dressing! 🖼️
Bryan Lee O’Malley, bless his heart, said, “Working on a game like this is a dream come true!” Yeah, a dream PAID for by desperate fans. 😴 He then added, “Scott Pilgrim fans won’t know what hit them in the slightest! EX-pect the un-EX-pected!” Translation: “We’re gonna milk this franchise dry!” 🐄 Game Director Jonathan Lavigne chimed in with, “Scott Pilgrim EX is the culmination of years of experience working on brawlers combined with our intimate knowledge of Scott Pilgrim. It’s a full-circle moment for us.” Translation: “We’re out of ideas, so we’re rehashing old ones!” ♻️
So, get ready for “hard-hitting combat” and “explosive art” that “reinvents” classic 2D brawling for a “new era.” 🙄 It’s coming in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Because they need to cover all their bases when they try to suck the money out of your wallets. 🤑

Born in the small town of Respawn, Pennsylvania, Pixel grew up mashing buttons on an ancient NES controller, firmly believing that “blowing into the cartridge” was a sacred ritual passed down through generations.
Pixel P. Snarkbyte: proving that life, much like a buggy open-world game, is better with a little lag-induced chaos.
