Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game returns as an Ultimate Edition

After years of lobbying its developer and publisher Ubisoft, the legion of fans behind Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game has finally won its case.

The 16-bit homage-style beat'em'all adapted from the eponymous comic book will arrive finally on current (or previous?) generation consoles in a brand new port of the subtitle Edition Intégrale - six years after its disappearance of digital blinds.

Thus, it is currently not possible to purchase the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 3 versionOriginal 60 by Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game on PSN and Xbox Store - the game was withdrawn from digital sales platforms in December 2014, four years after its release in August 2010. No explanation was given at the time for this sudden disappearance - but it's a safe bet that this is a story of the expiration of the license rights.

The Sex Bob-ombs on the comeback

Released in conjunction with the feature film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Movie in 2010, the game marks a comeback at the same time as the film's release this year - a coincidence that is not really a coincidence: its director Edgar Wright had campaigned alongside the author of the tape original cartoon Bryan Lee O'Malley for a reissue of the game from Ubisoft on Twitter; a call that would have been heard by Ubisoft according to the designer in selast September .

This new port was made official last Monday in a Facebook post - An Ultimate Edition that will feature the original game alongside its two expansion packs Knives Chau and Wallace Wells. Taking more or less the plot of the original comic book, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game takes up the classic codes of beat'emall in horizontal scrolling with many references to video game culture and nerd in general; playable up to four players online or locally, it will be necessary to fight against the army of henchmen of the 7 exes of Ramona Flowers to allow Scott Pilgrim to fall in love with the beautiful. The various Zombie Hordes, Prisoner Bullet and Battle Royale game modes (see no coincidence with recent trends) will also return.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Ultimate Edition will endthis long absence on January 14, 2021 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and as well as on Google Stadia.
