The mobile gaming sensation Monopoly Go is set to elevate the gaming experience with an exciting collaboration with the iconic Star Wars franchise. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this partnership will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the epic Skywalker Saga and the gripping series, The Mandalorian.
During this Star Wars-themed season, fans can expect to see their favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn transformed into adorable cartoon versions. The season introduces a unique Star Wars Go sticker album for players to complete, as well as podracing events set in the Mos Espa Grand Arena. Players will also have the chance to collect in-game items such as tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the delight of seeing these legendary Star Wars figures mingling with Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags, in this fun crossover.
This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has ventured into exciting collaborations. Last September, it embraced the Marvel universe, featuring characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers. The game's publisher, Scopely, has also recently expanded its portfolio by acquiring teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic.
According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go has dominated the mobile gaming market in 2024, topping consumer spending charts with an impressive $2.47 billion in earnings. The game also boasts 150 million downloads and 10 million daily active users, solidifying its status as a leading mobile game.
