New Playable Characters Join the Fight in Scott Pilgrim EX
Fans eagerly awaiting the beat 'em up sequel, Scott Pilgrim EX, have cause for celebration. Developers have unveiled two additional playable characters joining Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers: the notorious 'Evil Exes' Lucas Lee and Roxy Richter. This announcement comes alongside overwhelmingly positive feedback from press who got hands-on with a demo version of the game.
With Toronto under siege by rival factions of robots, demons, and vegans, extra muscle is definitely needed. Who better to lend a hand than former adversaries from the infamous League of Evil Exes? Lucas Lee, the powerful Hollywood star, and Roxy Richter, the agile half-ninja, are stepping up to restore order. These additions bring the total confirmed playable characters for the base game to seven, promising a diverse range of fighting styles for players.
Lucas Lee has paused his acting career to deliver a beatdown to anyone in his path. He expertly wields his skateboard, utilizing his strength for powerful grapples and throws. Roxy, on the other hand, brings her signature sword-wielding artistry to combat, moving with quick, precise strikes. Her arsenal includes smoke bombs and techniques that transform her into a whirlwind of destruction on the battlefield, making her a formidable and swift fighter.
Early Impressions and Familiar Flavors
Journalists who played a 30-minute demo at Gamescom were highly impressed with Scott Pilgrim EX. Combat was described as satisfying and smooth, with each hero's combos looking excellent. The inclusion of accessories and other unlockable items adds depth and replayability. Dom Peppiatt from Eurogamer noted that the combat system feels as powerful and addictive as ever, describing it as fluid, 'buttery-smooth,' and captivating, leaving him wanting to play more.
A reporter from Game Informer frequently used the word 'familiar' in a positive light, drawing comparisons to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Both games share a developer in Tribute Games, leading to a similar engine feel. The sense of familiarity extends to the sound as well, with the band Anamanaguchi returning to compose the soundtrack, just as they did for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. Furthermore, Bryan Lee O'Malley, the creator of the original comic series, is actively involved in crafting the story for Scott Pilgrim EX, ensuring authenticity for fans.
Players will be able to punch, kick, and battle their way through robots and other enemies in Scott Pilgrim EX in early 2026. The game is set to launch on PC (Steam), PlayStation consoles, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with text localization planned for various languages, including Russian.
