The mobile gaming sensation Monopoly Go is set to thrill fans with a new collaboration featuring the iconic Star Wars universe. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this exciting partnership will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the epic events of the Skywalker Saga and the adventures in The Mandalorian.
During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players can look forward to seeing their favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn in adorable cartoon versions. 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 including tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the fun of having these legendary characters mingling with Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags!
This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has ventured into crossover territory. Last September, the game embraced the Marvel universe, featuring characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers in a thrilling Monopoly-themed adventure.
In other news, Scopely, the publisher behind Monopoly Go, has recently expanded its portfolio by acquiring the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic, signaling a major move in the mobile gaming industry.
According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go has emerged as the top game for consumer spending in 2024, generating an impressive $2.47 billion in revenue. Scopely also reported 150 million downloads and 10 million daily users in 2024, showcasing the game's massive popularity and success.
