Scott Pilgrim EX Adds New Arcade Mode and Paid DLC Characters

Six months after its launch, Scott Pilgrim EX has received a content update on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Developer Tribute Games has introduced both free and premium additions to the side-scrolling beat-'em-up.

New Playable Characters

The developer has released a premium DLC pack titled Back in the Band. Priced at $3.99/£3.29, this pack expands the game's roster with three playable characters: Stephen Stills, Knives Chau, and Kim Pine.

Free Arcade Mode

All players, regardless of whether they purchase the DLC, now have access to a new arcade mode. This mode is designed for higher replayability, offering a more fast-paced experience through the game's main stages and boss encounters.

Key features of the arcade mode include:

Limited lives and credits for increased difficulty.
Full support for solo or up to four-player co-op.
A focus on score chasing throughout the adventure.
