The mobile gaming phenomenon, Monopoly Go, is set to inject a dose of science fiction into its classic real estate dice-rolling gameplay through an exciting collaboration with Star Wars. Announced at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this partnership will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian.
During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players can look forward to seeing beloved Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn in adorable cartoon forms. The season will also introduce a Star Wars Go sticker album for players to complete, exciting podracing events at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and a range of collectible in-game items such as tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the unique charm of these iconic characters mingling with Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.
This isn't Monopoly Go's first venture into crossover territory; last September, the game welcomed Marvel characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers into its world.
In other news, Scopely, the publisher behind Monopoly Go, recently expanded its portfolio by acquiring the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic.
According to a report from our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go topped the charts for consumer spending in 2024, generating a staggering $2.47 billion in revenue. Additionally, Scopely reported 150 million downloads and 10 million daily users in 2024, underscoring the game's immense popularity and success.
