Scott Pilgrim EX Takes Off At Summer Game Fest 2025
Tribute Games, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025 an all-new, action-packed video game entry into the Scott Pilgrim universe, Scott Pilgrim EX
Featuring a brand new story from Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim EX showed off a Toronto that was under attack from three rival gangs. It's up to Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers to take down these gangs with their kung-fu skills and videogame know-how. Scott Pilgrim EX reimagines the fan-favorite universe with a modern approach to traditional brawlers.
Featuring Tribute Game's iconic 16-bit style, arcade action, seven fan-favourite characters, and seamless four-player drop-in co-op. Each of the seven playable characters features a full move set from the start, but players can customize their experience through upgradeable stats, and equippable special items making every fighter feel truly personal. Not only that, but the game will feature new pixel art from famed artist Paul Robertson, as well as new music from Anamanaguchi.
'Working on a game like this is a dream come true, especially with this team of old friends and new collaborators. Scott Pilgrim fans won't know what hit them in the slightest! EX-pect the un-EX-pected!' said Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley. Following this up, Game Director at Tribute Games Jonathan Lavigne said, '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.'
With hard-hitting combat and explosive art, Scott Pilgrim EX reinvents classic 2D brawling for a new era, blending high-energy action with fun character progression. While no specific release date was given for Scott Pilgrim EX, the game is set to launch in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Summer Game Fest 2025's Best Horror, Sci-Fi, & Fantasy Trailers
Every year, Summer Game Fest is home to plenty of trailers for all sorts of games, be they major titles or small ones, right around the corner and who knows how far off. We've got a list of the biggest ones in the 2025 showcase, plus those that caught our eye for one reason or another. Let us know your faves in the comments below. Code Vein II Bandai Namco had a few flashy action games at Summer Game Fest, and the biggest was Code Vein II. The sequel to 2019's action-RPG will tell a story across two eras and star the player-made Hunter tasked with disposing of Revenants (undead humans with vampiric powers) that've morphed into monsters called Horrors. With the help of a girl named Lou, the Hunter travels across time to change the fates of key Revenants who could help alter the future for the better. Code Vein II releases in 2026 for PC, XSX|S, and PS5. End of Abyss From new developer Section 9 Interactive, End of Abyss is set in a dark sci-fi world where technician Cel investigates a series of disturbances in an underground compound. Said disturbances include ominous audio logs, something strange on the walls, and monsters around the area, some of which can multiply. Look for End of Abyss to hit in 2026 for PS5, XSX|S, and PC on the Epic Games Store. Atomic Heart II & The Cube Remember Atomic Heart from a few years ago? It's getting two continuations from developer Mundfish. The first, Atomic Heart II, is billed as a 'spiritual successor' to the first game, and will feature more RPG elements for players to dig into while exploring the series' retrofuturist alt-history universe. Then there's The Cube, an open-world MMO wherein players explore an ever-changing structure and face enemies to get more gear, get higher numbers, and do it all again. Neither it nor Atomic Heart II have set dates, but when they do, they'll presumably release for PC, PS5, and XSX|S. Marvel Cosmic Invasion Summer Game Fest featured a trailer for Cosmic Invasion showing two new heroes coming to the 2D beat-em-up: She-Hulk and Rocket Raccoon. (Noticeably sans Groot, unlike the duo's recent appearances in Marvel Rivals and Guardians of the Galaxy.) Jen's got her strength, Rocket's got his claws and guns, they're both helping the previously revealed heroes like Quasar, Storm, and Spider-Man repel the Annihilation Wave moving through the galaxy. Marvel Cosmic Invasion releases on PS4 and 5, XSX|S, and PC later this year. Onimusha: Way of the Sword Capcom's looking to bring back some franchises it's left behind in recent years, starting with Onimusha. We already knew the next entry, Way of the Sword, sees protagonist Musashi use his katana to slice up demonic Genma in Edo-era Japan. But the new trailer introduces his rival Sasaki Ganryu and reveals the Oni Gauntlet around Musashi's wrist lets him summon a young woman to talk to. What else can the Gauntlet do, and why do he and Ganryu have them? We'll find out when Onimusha: Way of the Sword comes in 2026 for PC and consoles. Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver Even if you don't listen to hip-hop, you surely know Wu-Tang Clan or its members by reputation. Developer Brass Lion Entertainment's Rise of the Deceiver asks players a very important question: how would you like to save Ghostface Killah's Wu brothers, then fight alongside them and use their powers against the titular Deceiver? If that sounds fun to you, the co-op action-RPG—featuring writing from io9 alum Evan Narcisse—is hitting PC sometime in 2026. Mio: Memories in Orbit For the Metroidvania fans, Mio: Memories in Orbit made an appearance at the event. In it, players explore the massive technological ark known as the Vessel, which is home to rogue machines. It falls to Mio to save the Vessel's residents while hacking the machines to bits and gaining new abilites to explore the space station when the game comes out later this year for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and X|S, and PS4 and 5. There's a free demo on Steam, which you can play here. Fractured Blooms Described as a cross between Doki Doki Literature Club and Silent Hill, Serenity Forge's Fractured Blooms stars Angie, a girl stuck in a time loop. While figuring out how to break it, she cooks, grows food, and helps the locals, all of which may be key to figuring out how to get to the next day. But with each new loop comes some kind of shift in the day, like someone remembering Angie's past actions, or the cycle pushing back against her. Should any of that intrigue you, Fractured Blooms will release on PC in the near future. Mina the Hollower Yacht Club Games' debut title was 2014's Shovel Knight, and it was so big the studio expanded on it with several post-launch campaigns and spinoff titles. The studio's next project, Mina the Hollower, is a top-down action-adventure starring a genius mouse inventor studying the Earth. With her whip and 'hollowing' ability that lets her move quickly underground, Mina explores Tenebrous Isle and looks to free it from its curse. Mina the Hollower releases October 31 for PC, Xbox One and X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 and 5. There's a free demo out now for Steam players on PC, which you can download here. Deadpool VR It's been over a decade since Deadpool headlined a solo game, now here he is back in the spotlight for a VR title. Meta Quest 3 and 3S owners will inhabit the Merc With a Mouth as he kills enemies, cracks wise, and swears in the voice of Neil Patrick Harris while visiting different locations across the Marvel Universe. VR and the first-person perspective also offers creative, Wade-like ways to kill enemies, from simply shooting or stabbing them to shoving their face into a propeller or feeding them to a monster. Deadpool VR launches in late 2025. Scott Pilgrim EX Scott Pilgrim's story never truly ends. Developer Tribute unveiled Scott Pilgrim EX at Summer Game Fest, which sees Scott and Ramona Flowers team up with five other playable characters to fight the Vegans, Robots, and Goths that've taken over Toronto. EX looks to be a sequel to Netflix's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and has that show's co-creators Bryan Lee O'Malley (who created the original comic) and BenDavid Grabinski involved. Also along for the ride are animator Paul Robertson and musician Anamanaguchi, who both contributed to Ubisoft's cult classic tie-in game (also a beat-em-up!) from 2010. Scott Pilgrim EX comes to PC and consoles in 2026. Ill From Team Clout and Mundfish Powerhouse, the first-person horror game Ill has plenty of zombies (both clothed and naked), gore, and body horror to make clear it's gonna be a freaky time. If that weren't enough, a swarm of zombie babies rushing the player might underline things. Fortunately, you can kick those little terrors away. Unfortunately, there's plenty of other hostile stuff that wants to kill you in the research fort you're exploring when the game comes out for PC, PS5, and XSX|S in the near future. Infinitesimals First-time developer Cubit Studios revealed Infinitesimals, and like the name implies, stars small characters waging a big war against one another. Captain Awkney's hoping to find a new home for his people, and to do that, he'll have to fight enemy soldiers his own size and bigger animals like ants, birds, and spiders. It looks like Halo mixed with A Bug's Life, and it's coming to Epic Games Store, PS5, and XSX|S in 2026. Resident Evil: Requiem Closing out Summer Game Fest was Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline game in the survival horror series. FBI agent Grace Ashcroft—daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak's Alyssa—is tasked with looking into an incident at a hotel that also happens to be where her mother was killed. Things aren't right at the hotel, and Grace is gonna be through hell. And that's just the start, as part of her journey might involve a trip back to the bombed Racoon City. We'll see what terrors there await when Resident Evil Requiem comes out on February 27, 2026 for PC, XSX|S, and PS5.

‘Splitgate 2' CEO Won't Apologize For ‘Make FPS Great Again' Hat
Splitgate 2 It's been a wild Summer Game Fest so far, and one of the most talked-about moments of Friday's showcase was the appearance of Splitgate 2, and its developer's CEO, Ian Proulx. Splitgate 2''s Proulx took the stage in a black hat that said 'Make FPS Great Again,' a riff on the famed Trump MAGA hat. He then proceeded to trash-talk some of the other competitors in the space: "I grew up playing Halo, and I'm tired of playing the same Call of Duty every year. And I wish we could have Titanfall 3," Proulx said. "With Splitgate 2, we asked ourselves how we can take portals to the next level. The reveal was that Splitgate 2 would get a battle royale mode, launching now, which was mocked for claiming to be 'innovative' with that genre and also having a COD-like expensive microtransaction shop. Though many have played the game an enjoyed it. Shortly after the show, Ian Proulx used the official Splitgate 2 account to address the hat issue specifically, albeit saying specifically it wasn't an apology. The tweet: 'I'm not here to apologize but I am here to clarify. This is not a political statement, it is quite literally what it says, so take it at face value.' 'The state of multiplayer FPS games is tragically stale. We hope to fix that, whether you want Arena, Battle Royale, Onslaught, or Map Creator.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder I am in fact prone to believe that Proulx was attempting to make a joke rather than actually expressing support for Trump and MAGA, but that doesn't mean it isn't an awful idea that never should have happened. Nor was the tweet with a picture of him in the hat giving a thumbs up alongside the non-apology. Proulx doubles down on the idea that FPS games are now 'tragically stale,' and you can agree with that or not, but many do consider it poor form to go directly after rivals. I can't say I care all that much about that, but multiple factors here combined to make an awkward, goodwill-sapping reveal of what could have been a non-distracting promotion of a new mode. Splitgate 2 The announcement increased Splitgate 2's playercount. It went from an average peak of 9-11K concurrent players on Steam to 25,785 after the reveal. The question, of course, is how long that surge may last, and none of this seems exactly like it's about to shake up the hierarchy of power in the FPS universe.
