The mobile gaming phenomenon, Monopoly Go, is set to elevate its gameplay with an exciting collaboration with Star Wars, announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan. This unique partnership will run from May 1 to July 2 and draws inspiration from the iconic Skywalker Saga and the popular series, The Mandalorian, infusing the game with a dash of science fiction flair.
During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players can expect to see beloved Star Wars characters transformed into adorable cartoon versions. The season introduces a Star Wars Go sticker album for players to complete, the thrill of podracing in the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and a range of collectible in-game items including tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the delight of seeing Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn mingling with Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.
This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has ventured into cross-franchise collaborations. Last September, the game saw a successful mash-up with Marvel, featuring characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers.
Adding to its portfolio, publisher Scopely recently expanded by acquiring the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic, showcasing their commitment to enhancing their 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 in revenue, which could buy gold toilets for everyone on the team. The game also boasts 150 million downloads and 10 million daily users in 2024, solidifying its status as a mobile gaming giant.
