"Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go"

The mobile gaming sensation Monopoly Go is set to add a dash of science fiction to its classic real estate and 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 iconic events in the Skywalker Saga and the adventures of The Mandalorian.

This Star Wars-themed season on Monopoly Go will feature beloved characters transformed into adorable cartoon versions, enhancing the game's visual appeal. Players can look forward to a Star Wars Go sticker album to complete, engaging in podracing at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and collecting various in-game items such as 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 the iconic Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.

This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has embraced a crossover; last September, it welcomed Marvel characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers into its universe.

Publisher Scopely, which recently acquired the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic, continues to expand its influence in the mobile gaming industry. According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go topped the charts for consumer spending in 2024, amassing an impressive $2.47 billion. This financial success is complemented by the game's widespread popularity, boasting 150 million downloads and 10 million daily active users in 2024.
