Scott Pilgrim DLC on PSN today, adds Knives Chau vs. The World
Scott Pilgrim's never-ending battle against the rest of the planet is about to get a little bit easier. The PSN version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World will receive its first expansion today, a $2 DLC pack that adds jilted ex-girlfriend Knives Chau as a playable character, as well as a player-vs-player arena mode and slightly-less-violent dodgeball mode.
Additionally, launching alongside the DLC will come a free patch that allows players to drop in or out of the game at any time while playing offline co-op. The update will also lower the difficulty of the game's (rather difficult) "Average Joe" setting.
According to Ubisoft, the DLC is due out on Xbox Live "later this month." If you're finding it difficult to stick it out until then, you can whet your palate by checking out a new trailer for the DLC after the jump.
