Ubisoft's fondly-remembered 2D arcade-style beat 'em-up is inspired by Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book series and Edgar Wright's film of the same name. You get to play as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Knives Chau, Stephen Stills, and more.

The game was originally released digitally for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in August 2010 before being delisted in December 2014. Fans had called on Ubisoft to re-release Scott Pilgrim vs The World for years. In August 2020, O'Malley took to Twitter to say Ubisoft hadn't contacted him or the game's original developers "in any capacity". "If the Scott Pilgrim game DOES get re-released and NONE of us are involved, how messed up is that? It's Messed UP," he said at the time.

O'Malley sounded a lot happier when Ubisoft announced the game in September.
