How The Scott Pilgrim Game Nearly Vanished

When Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released in 2010, it was supposed to be the beginning of a massive multimedia franchise. The comic series by Bryan Lee O’Malley had become a cult favorite, a major Hollywood film adaptation was on the way, and Ubisoft was preparing to release a tie-in video game. The result was Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, a retro-inspired side-scrolling beat ’em up that perfectly captured the energy of the original comics. But despite its popularity, the game suddenly disappeared. For nearly a decade, one of the best beat ’em ups of the modern era was on the verge of becoming lost media. #scottpilgrimvstheworldthegame #scottpilgrim #scottpilgrimvstheworld #edgarwright #nerdstalgic
