The mobile gaming sensation, Monopoly Go, is set to thrill fans by collaborating with the iconic Star Wars franchise. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this exciting partnership will run from May 1 through July 2, drawing inspiration from the epic Skywalker Saga and the adventures of The Mandalorian.
During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players can expect to see beloved Star Wars characters reimagined in adorable cartoon styles. The season introduces a Star Wars Go sticker album for players to complete, along with thrilling podracing events set in the Mos Espa Grand Arena. Collectible in-game items such as tokens, shields, and emojis will also be available. Imagine the delight of seeing Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn mingling with the game's iconic character, Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.
This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has ventured into such collaborations. Last September, it featured a Marvel-themed event, where players could interact with characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and members of the Avengers.
In other news, the game's publisher, Scopely, has expanded its portfolio by acquiring the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic. This move underscores Scopely's commitment to enhancing its mobile gaming offerings.
According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go has been ranked as the top game for consumer spending in 2024, amassing an impressive $2.47 billion. This success has contributed to the game achieving 150 million downloads and boasting 10 million daily users in the same year, solidifying its status as a leading title in the mobile gaming market.
