In commemoration of its tenth anniversary, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is getting a long-overdue re-release for current-gen consoles.
Here’s everything you need to know about Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game — Complete Edition:
Release Date
Originally slated for a “Holiday 2020” release, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game — Complete Edition had a delay when it came to hitting the shelves, but don’t worry, Ubisoft announced recently that the game will be available from January 14th.
It’ll be available on Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, released with the original game’s downloadable content, which added Knives Chau and Wallace Wells as playable characters.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a cult hit video game adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. The story puts you in the shoes of Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old musician in Toronto who is infatuated by Ramona Flowers, a new girl in town who just moved from New York. As the two begin to date, Scott Pilgrim is challenged by Ramona’s seven exes, who make up the League of Ramona’s Evil Exes.
The game follows a retro-style 2D beat-’em-up reminiscent of classic arcade games like Streets of Rage and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. It was celebrated for its fun gameplay, humorous story, and plentiful homages to retro games.
Complete Edition is a re-release of the game for modern consoles. It is not a remaster or a remake. The Complete Edition will also include the game’s downloadable content, which featured the characters Knives Chau and Wallace Wells as playable characters.
It’s important to note that, in a press release, Ubisoft said the game will be available “to download,” meaning the game is once again at the mercy of a digital storefront. No mention of a physical release has been made. However, it is possible that a third party boutique brand may create a premium physical release due to the game’s popularity.
Scott Pilgrim fans can rejoice as the complete edition drops in a few days!
