SCOTT PILGRIM EX – BACK IN THE BAND: PAID DLC (note: out on September 10th in Europe, Oceania, and Asia)

The band is finally back together. Alternate versions of Stephen Stills, Kim Pine and Knives Chau warp into the fight, completing the full band lineup in Scott Pilgrim EX. Each fan-favorite fighter arrives with a distinct combat style, original animations, character-specific abilities and new ways to build over-the-top combos across Toronto.

Three New Playable Characters

Stephen Stills: An aggressive rushdown frontman who keeps the pressure on with six string-fueled attacks. Whether he is smashing enemies with his guitar or blasting them away with ear-popping feedback, Stephen stays in opponents’ faces and orchestrates devastating beatdowns.
Kim Pine: A hard-hitting mix-up fighter who combines brutal drumstick strikes, stomping breakdowns and goth-cutie attitude. Kim lays down devastating rhythms with explosive drum solos and trades BPM for PPM: Punches Per Minute.
Knives Chau: A lightning-fast hit-and-run rogue specialist who overwhelms enemies with acrobatic attacks, shadow clone techniques and her emblematic battle scarf. Agile and elusive, Knives weaves through the battlefield while delivering precise punishment.

New Assist Characters

Joseph: The legendary producer behind the band cranks the volume to 11, dropping a towering wall of sound that sends sonic projectiles crashing through the battlefield.
Hollie: No-Account Video’s finest employee is done collecting late fees. Armed with her trusty remote, Hollie traps enemies in a relentless barrage of hits, giving players plenty of time to rewind the pain.
Mr. Chau: Knives’ fiercely protective father joins the fight. Channel his unwavering determination to summon shadow clone support, turning every attack into a devastating multi-hit assault.
