Scott Pilgrim vs the World may be two years old, but that isn't stopping Ubisoft from making more DLC for the critically-acclaimed retro brawler. The publisher has announced on Twitter that a new "Wallace Wells" DLC pack will be available on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade "soon."

According to the Scott Pilgrim Wiki, Wallace is Scott's gay roommate who appeared in the game as an NPC. It's likely that the DLC will make him a fully playable character.

While Ubisoft isn't revealing further details, Major Nelson has already outed a date and a price: August 19th, for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). Oddly, Microsoft describes it as an "Online Multiplayer" pack as well, which suggests that the core game is being updated with online multiplayer--one of the most fan-demanded features for the game's original release.

        Agreed. Just Like in the Movies is one of my favorite pieces of videogame music ever.

      Charging money to add multiplayer for a 2-year-old game? Look, guys, I loved Scott Pilgrim and wanted MP when it launched, but this is just too little, far too late.

        How can extras that make the game better or replayable be anything but a good thing?

        this is not too far, yes maybe too late. the game never advertised online multiplayer and it probably wasn't in the scope of the original project. at 2 years we should be happy we get anything.

      Talk about an out-of-left-field update. But fuck yeah! I love this game, online MP would totally get me to throw down some greenbacks.
