Lauded for its pixel art, old-school brawler gameplay, and excellent soundtrack, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game was one of the best beat 'em up games for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It quickly became a cult classic, even more so when it was delisted from digital storefronts in 2014.

Ubisoft has not announced if it'll be available physically, but series creator Bryan Lee O'Malley hinted on Twitter that there might be a physical release after the initial launch, but that the decision is ultimately up to Ubisoft.

Previously announced as a Holiday 2020 title, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game just missed celebrating its 10th anniversary along with the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie.
