It’s been ten years since it originally came out, and six years since it mysteriously disappeared from digital stores, but today Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game made its comeback. It’s an excellent little beat ’em-up based on the Scott Pilgrim comic series (or if you haven’t read that one, the movie starring Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and this new version of the game comes with all DLCs to boot.
You can play as Scott Pilgrim himself, as well as Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, Knives Chau and Wallace Wells as you work your way through waves of enemies. It also has local and online multiplayer.
This new version of the game is a complete edition, which means it comes with all of the DLCs from the original. It also has boss rush and survival horror modes, as well as a number of mini-games like PvP dodgeball and something Ubisoft calls “battle-royale throwdowns.”
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game first came out in 2010, but just four years later it disappeared from digital stores with no real official explanation as to why (although there are suggestions it had something to do with license expiration). However, many fans wanted it back, including the comic book artist Bryan Lee O’Malley, who Ubisoft released last summer.
In the few years since the Scott Pilgrim movie and game came out, I feel like a lot of girls my age suddenly got really edgy and dyed their hair lots of fun colors. Those girls were me. I’m talking about myself. However, I only dyed my hair red because I worked in a garbage shop where no bright hair colors were possible. All this is to say, dibs on playing Ramona.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game is available now on the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store for £ 12.50 / $ 15. It is also out on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
