UBISOFT GETS IT TOGETHER, OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES SCOTT PILGRIM, THE GAME
Ubisoft have officially announced our previously mentioned Comic-Con news that they’re developing a game based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic series Scott Pilgrim — and have subsequently added absolutely no further details. As mentioned late last week, IGN and /Film reported from O’Malley’s panel which dropped news that the game would be “a side-scrolling brawler that will retain the look of the comic” — and IGN went further with now-apparently-rescinded details that the game would be a PS3/Xbox 360 downloadable.
O’Malley himself has said that any platform news was overstated, and Ubisoft’s press release offers nothing more of note apart from a flurry of background details on Edgar Wright’s film adaptation, and licensing VP Christian Salomon promising the game will “provide a fun and unique experience to players and combine all the important elements seen in the film–action, romance, irreverent pop culture references and rock-n-roll.”
But, the most heartening news out of all the non-news, a presser quote from O’Malley (who is otherwise remaining mum on the project) that at least generically hints that he’s “work[ing] closely” with Ubisoft on the game.
