It was digitally buried in 2014
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game is kind of legendary.
Not only was it one of the best beat ’em-ups of the past decades (I mean, it itself exited the last decade, since it was released in 2010, so that says something), but it was also legendary because it was deleted and lost forever before the eater of the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade.
You see, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game was never physically released. That was once pulled in 2014, it was gone. For years, Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley (who was heavily involved in the design of the game alongside Ubisoft Montreal) has tried to bring it back, and it looks like he might have finally had a good hit.
His last plea, which was back in May, is apparently to be heard: as Ubisoft has ‘reached out’ to O’Malley, based on its own accounts this week. There are a lot of rights issues that need to be worked out, but if Ubisoft is up for it and O’Malley and company (Universal Pictures has been implicated as a gatekeeper for this deal in the past), we may have a re-release at some point in the future. Give us a physical version this time, Limited Run!
It’s wild to think that I decided on this game more than seven years ago. Time flies!
