Get ready, mobile gaming enthusiasts! Monopoly Go is about to take you on an epic journey through the galaxy with its latest collaboration with Star Wars. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this thrilling crossover will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the iconic events of the Skywalker Saga and the adventures of The Mandalorian.
During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players will not only see their favorite Star Wars characters transformed into adorable cartoon versions but also dive into new gameplay elements. Look forward to collecting a Star Wars Go sticker album, participating in high-speed podracing at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and snagging collectible in-game items like tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the fun of having 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, in the world of Monopoly Go.
This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has ventured into popular franchises; last September, it brought Marvel characters into the mix, featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers. The game's publisher, Scopely, has also been expanding its portfolio, recently acquiring teams from Niantic responsible for hits like Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now.
According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go has topped the charts for consumer spending in 2024, raking in an impressive $2.47 billion. This success has contributed to the game achieving 150 million downloads and maintaining 10 million daily users in 2024, showcasing its immense popularity and engagement among mobile gamers.
