Knives Chau, Kim Pine, and Stephen Stills Join Scott Pilgrim EX as Playable DLC Characters

A substantial double-feature of new content has officially arrived for Scott Pilgrim EX, delivering both a paid character roster expansion alongside a complimentary retro-themed overhaul. For an entry price of $3.99, players can finally take control of three fan-favorite narrative staples: Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, and Knives Chau. While each played a pivotal role in the main campaign, this release marks their debut as fully playable combatants.

Diverse Combat Styles and Fresh Assist Characters

Each newly added fighter introduces a distinctive mechanical flair to the brawler’s dynamic beat-’em-up gameplay:

• Knives Chau: Relies on razor-sharp blade maneuvers and high-mobility strikes, punctuated by a screen-traversing corkscrew aerial assault.
• Kim Pine: Infuses percussive rhythm into combat, channeling mystical violet energy and conjuring winged bat projectiles with her signature drumsticks.
• Stephen Stills: Combines bare-knuckle pugilism with acoustic guitar strikes, culminating in an electrified microphone attack that damages all nearby opposition.

Complementing the lead roster, the expansion also integrates three novel assist summons into the fray. Kim’s coworker Hollie wields a remote to project a damaging volume-meter bar, Mr. Chau crafts elusive shadow duplicates of active players, and producer Joseph drops a massive sound cabinet to batter enemies with deafening sonic blasts.

Arcade Nostalgia: The Free “Coin-Op Chaos” Mode

Simultaneously launching across all platforms is Coin-Op Chaos, a zero-cost update built to evoke the quintessential golden era of quarter-munching arcade classics. The mode refines level transitions into a linear gauntlet while reinstating traditional lives, limited credit pools, score-chasing systems, and localized high-score tables. Players can experience the reimagined campaign entirely through seamless cross-platform cooperative multiplayer.

Scott Pilgrim EX is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. To celebrate the update, the core title is running an introductory 20% discount across digital storefronts through September 9.
