Scott Pilgrim EX announced by Tribute Games as new beat-em-up adventure
Scott Pilgrim EX, a brand-new beat-em-up game, has been officially announced by Tribute Games during the 2025 Summer Game Fest, as reported by Mike Minotti of VentureBeat on June 6. Known for developing the fan-favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and the upcoming Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Tribute Games is returning to the retro-inspired action genre with a fresh take on the beloved Scott Pilgrim franchise. Though not a direct sequel or remake, Scott Pilgrim EX draws inspiration from the legacy of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, a 2010 side-scrolling brawler that garnered critical acclaim for its pixel art style, nostalgic gameplay, and soundtrack. The Scott Pilgrim universe originally began as a comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley and has since expanded into a cult-classic film and animated adaptations. While specific details remain limited, the announcement trailer showcased classic beat-em-up action, cooperative multiplayer, and stylistic callbacks to both the comics and earlier game. Tribute Games, known for its polished pixel art and fluid gameplay mechanics, aims to reintroduce Scott Pilgrim to a new generation while appealing to longtime fans of the series. The original game, re-released in 2021 after years of fan demand, became a cult classic. With Scott Pilgrim EX, Tribute Games signals a return to that beloved style—potentially with new characters, features, and levels. More information about platforms, release dates, and gameplay specifics for Scott Pilgrim EX is expected in the coming months as Tribute Games continues development.
