It’s a growing-up that continues in Scott Pilgrim EX, the 2026-bound sidescrolling action brawler from Tribute Games (a studio packed with devs who worked on Ubisoft’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World: The Game). I played about thirty minutes at Gamescom, and compared to Ubi’s 2010 beat ‘em up, EX appears to have done some maturing of its own. Enemies also seem more numerous and aggressive than in the previous game, making for a faster tempo while boosting both the need and the opportunities for flashy combos. Structurally though, Scott Pilgrim EX has gained an appreciation for RPG-lite questing, as well as a more open structure where your party can move back and forth between districts without lurching back to an overworld map.
