Scott Pilgrim returns to brawl on the digital streets of Toronto in new video game | CBC News
"If I was 12, I would want to do a movie, and an anime, and a video game. Now, 20 years after Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, the first book in his series, he's got all of those and then some. The latest is Scott Pilgrim EX, the second video game to star the indie music-loving nerd who previously was tasked with fighting his girlfriend's seven evil exes in duels across a cartoony version of Toronto."
"Much of the team originally worked on the previous game while working for Ubisoft, and O'Malley said it was a chance to revisit unfinished business and ideas they didn't get to the first time around. In Scott Pilgrim EX's original storyline, an evil robot clone of Scott kidnaps members of the band Sex Bob-Omb. Scott, his girlfriend, Ramona, and other characters have to rescue their friends."
"Playing as Scott, Ramona or a handful of the other characters in the series, you'll fight gang members, ne'er-do-wells and robots while fulfilling minor requests from other supporting characters across Toronto. Players will travel back and forth around the city, revisiting locations while unlocking access to new ones throughout Scott and company's adventure in a nonlinear setup reminiscent of the 1989 game River City Ransom."
Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim franchise has expanded significantly over 20 years, now including movies, anime, and multiple video games. Scott Pilgrim EX is the latest installment, developed by Tribute Games with a team that previously worked on the 2011 original game at Ubisoft. Rather than directly adapting the comics, EX features an original storyline where players rescue kidnapped band members from an evil robot clone of Scott. The game employs nonlinear gameplay across a fictionalized Toronto, allowing players to revisit locations and unlock new areas while fighting enemies and completing side quests. Multiple playable characters from the series are available, and the game's visual style closely matches the original while offering fresh gameplay opportunities.
