Adding further credibility to the project, BenDavid Grabinski, the director of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, serves as a creative advisor, ensuring that the game resonates well with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
It has been some time since Scott Pilgrim enjoyed a video game adaptation. Back in 2010, Ubisoft released the cult-classic beat ‘em up titled Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which was based on the engaging story and captivating artwork from O’Malley’s iconic comic series. Upon its initial launch for PS3 and Xbox 360, it received decent reviews, boasting an average score of 77 on the review aggregate site Metacritic. This score reflects a solid reception among players and critics alike.
The original PS3 and Xbox 360 game was later re-released on contemporary platforms including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2021. The reimagined version, titled Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Complete Edition, featured the full game alongside its popular Knives Chau and Wallace Add-On Packs, providing players with an enriched gaming experience that highlights the franchise’s charm.
The eagerly awaited Scott Pilgrim EX is set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2026, promising an exciting adventure for both veteran gamers and new players alike.
