It has been ten years since it was originally released and six years since it mysteriously disappeared from digital stores, but today Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game has made its return. It’s an excellent beat ’em up based on the comic book series Scott Pilgrim (or if you haven’t already, the movie starring Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and this new version of the game comes with all the DLCs to boot.
You’ll be able to play as Scott Pilgrim himself, as well as Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, Knives Chau and Wallace Wells, as he works his way through waves of enemies. It has local and online multiplayer as well.
This new version of the game is a Full Edition, which means only that it comes with all the DLCs from the original. It also has boss racing and survival horror modes, as well as a lot of mini-games like PvP firing and something Ubisoft calls “direct battle clashes”.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game was first released in 2010, but just four years later it disappeared from digital stores with no real official explanation as to why (although there are suggestions that it was something to do with expiring licenses). Many fans wanted it back, including comic book author Bryan Lee O’Malley, who Ubisoft reached out to last summer.
A few years after the release of the film and the Scott Pilgrim game, I feel that many girls my age were suddenly very nervous and dyed their hair in various fun colors. Those girls were me. I’m talking about myself. However, I only dyed my hair red, because I worked at a lousy retail job that didn’t allow for bright hair colors. All this means: dibs on playing Ramona.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game is available on the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store now, for £ 12.50 / $ 15. It is also available on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
