Ubisoft will re-release Scott Pilgrim for Switch and more following 6-year absence
Side-scrolling beat-’em’-up has been unavailable to buy since 2014
Ubisoft will re-release fan-favourite 2D action game Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game in Holiday 2020, it’s announced.
The Complete Edition will release for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Stadia and include the Knives Chau and Wallace Wells add-on packs.
The side-scrolling beat-’em’-up has been unavailable for purchase for six years, after the property’s license expired. The game is inspired by the iconic comic book series and movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
The game was only available digitally on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox One from 2010 to 2014. If players opted out of purchasing and downloading the game during those years, there was no legal way to do so before now.
“Scott Pilgrim is back! Team up with friends to battle your way through waves of tough enemies to fight for love,” Ubisoft said. “Share health and coins, compete in mini-games like Dodgeball, and challenge each other to an epic-last-one-standing duel.”
