the World: The Game and its DLC were delisted from the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, possibly due to the license expiring. A second DLC pack, which implements online multiplayer and adds Wallace Wells as a playable character, was scheduled for release on February 5, 2013, but the pack was delayed and eventually released on Maon PlayStation Network and on Maon Xbox Live Arcade.
The XBLA version was later released on December 28, 2010. Downloadable content was released for the PSN version on November 9, 2010, to coincide with the film's DVD and Blu-ray Disc release, including Knives Chau as a playable character and two additional game modes: Battle Royal and Dodge Ball. The game's original soundtrack by Anamanaguchi was released on Amazon and iTunes by ABKCO Records in North America on August 24, 2010, and was released internationally on August 30, 2010. Scott Pilgrim-themed Avatar clothes and props were released on Xbox Live's Avatar Marketplace on August 12, 2010. An early pitch video was revealed on August 11, 2010, which showcased even more retro graphics and direct parodies of classic games. The game makes various references to video games, such as River City Ransom, Mario, Kirby, Mega Man, and Guitar Hero. The first trailer for the game was released on June 11, 2010, which showed some of the stages in the game such as inside a club, on a street and noticeably inside a Toronto Transit Commission streetcar. On June 8, 2010, Game Informer presented their first hands on, where it was revealed the game would be a timed exclusive for PlayStation Network, with an Xbox Live Arcade release at a later date. the World: The Game was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 on July 28, 2009. O'Malley designed the concept moves and specials of the playable characters and bosses. According to O'Malley, he was initially approached by Telltale Games to make a Scott Pilgrim adventure game, but he declined as he could not see it as part of that genre. He also drew several sketches on which the in-game cutscenes are based. O'Malley came to Ubisoft and discussed with the development team how the game's narrative and flow should be handled.

Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim series creator, and Edgar Wright, director of the film adaptation, were also involved in development. Chiptune-based pop and rock band Anamanaguchi performed the soundtrack for the game. He felt he had "the most creative control" on any game he has worked on, but that he was still restricted by the source material, pleasing the publishers and producers, and programming limitations. Robertson was responsible for designing and animating the game's sprites, effects, and other aspects. Robertson had previous experience working on the 5th Cell series Drawn to Life and created Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006, an animated side-scroller game based film. The game's art direction and animation was headed by Paul Robertson, whom the company contacted by e-mail. the World: The Game was co-developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Chengdu. Various cheat codes unlock extra features, such as a Sound Test, a Boss Rush and a Survival Horror mode.
During co-operative play, players can revive fallen comrades at the cost of some money, give each other health or money and simultaneously taunt for a combined attack. Players can also enter Subspace areas which act as bonus areas where extra coins can be earned.
Certain items can be taken 'to go' to be automatically used when the player runs out of health. Defeating enemies earns coins which can be spent in shops to purchase items that can replenish health or boost stats. Each player has Heart Points and Guts Points, the latter of which can revive players if they are knocked out, or be used to perform special moves such as summoning Knives Chau or the unlockable assist character Mr. Characters have their own individual movesets, which can be expanded upon by gaining enough experience, and are also able to use weapons. Loosely following the story of the graphic novels, up to four players can play as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine or Stephen Stills (along with the unlockable character NegaScott and the downloadable characters Knives Chau and Wallace Wells), who must battle through seven levels in order to defeat Ramona's seven evil exes.
