Get your bass guitars ready – Toronto is about to get a whole lot weirder. Tribute Games has officially confirmed that Scott Pilgrim EX, the high-energy “brawling adventure” follow-up to the 2010 cult classic, will launch on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Co-written by series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, this brand-new story picks up after the events of the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime series. With seven playable characters and a warped, time-torn version of Toronto to explore, here is exactly when you can start brawling.

Gameplay Features
Unlike the linear, stage-by-stage progression of the 2010 game, Scott Pilgrim EX introduces an open-ended "adventure brawler" structure. This means Toronto is now a fully interconnected map that players can explore at their own pace.
As you wander through the fractured space-time of the city, you'll encounter NPCs offering side quests that can grant permanent stat boosts or unique combat items. The brawling itself has been modernized by Tribute Games (notably, the team behind TMNT: Shredder's Revenge), featuring a more fluid combo system and environmental interactions. And yes, you can still throw giant turnips at your enemies.
Some of the gameplay highlights include:
- 7 Playable Characters: The core band is back, plus newly playable additions Matthew Patel and Robot-01.
- RPG Progression: Collect coins to upgrade your Strength, Defense, and Speed at iconic shops like No-Account Video.
- 4-Player Co-op: Join forces with up to three friends locally or online with easy drop-in/drop-out play.
- Special Badges: Equipable items that grant unique passive abilities or over-the-top special attacks.
Scott Pilgrim EX Demo
If you want to test your skills before the full release, a playable demo of Scott Pilgrim EX is currently available on Steam. Released as part of the February 2026 Steam Next Fest, the demo allows you to play through the game's first two quests either solo or in 4-player online co-op. You can choose from a four-character preview roster (Scott, Ramona, Lucas Lee, and Roxy Richter) to explore a slice of the time-warped Toronto map and get a feel for the new "adventure brawler" mechanics.
