Scott Pilgrim Ex officially launches on March 3, bringing a new story co-written by Bryan Lee O'Malley, new playable characters, and a returning soundtrack by Anamanaguchi.
Fans of chaotic beat-em-ups and indie comic royalty have a concrete date to mark on their calendars. Developer Tribute Games announced via a fresh trailer, as reported by Polygon, that Scott Pilgrim Ex will officially launch digitally on March 3. The new title serves as a standalone chapter in the beloved universe, featuring a brand-new story co-written by creator Bryan Lee O'Malley and the development team. Rather than acting as a direct sequel to the Netflix anime, the original comics, or the classic beat-em-up adaptation, this release promises an entirely fresh adventure for the franchise.
The latest trailer also pulled back the curtain on two new playable additions to the roster. Matthew Patel, one of Ramona Flowers' memorable evil exes, is stepping into the fray alongside Robot-01, a mechanical brawler originally built by the Katayanagi Twins. They join a lineup that already includes previously announced fighters like Roxie Richter and Lucas Lee, with one final mystery character still waiting in the wings before launch day. The plot drops players into a chaotic version of Toronto overrun by demons, vegans, and rival gangs who have kidnapped the members of Sex-Bob-omb and stolen their instruments.
Beyond the punch-heavy action, the game is keeping one of the most beloved elements of the franchise's gaming history intact. Anamanaguchi, the band behind the iconic chiptune soundtrack of the original game, is returning to score this new chapter. For players looking to jump straight into the cooperative chaos, the game is available to wishlist right now on Steam ahead of its early March arrival.
