The original game was only available for about four years. Scott Pilgrim is delisted from digital storefronts in 2014, supposedly due to licensing issues. Although the reason why is never totally made known to fans. But that never stopped them from constant clamoring for the game to come back. And now, they finally have their wish. What a great way to celebrate ten years!

Limited Run Games will make this complete edition available for pre-order on January 15, 2021 at 10am EST at their website.
