Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go

The mobile gaming phenomenon, Monopoly Go, is set to thrill fans with a new collaboration featuring the iconic universe of Star Wars. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this exciting partnership will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the epic Skywalker Saga and the beloved series, The Mandalorian.

During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players can look forward to seeing their favorite Star Wars characters in adorable cartoon form. The season will introduce a Star Wars Go sticker album for collectors to fill, along with the chance to participate in podracing at the Mos Espa Grand Arena. Players will also have the opportunity to collect unique 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 ventured into crossover territory. Last September, the game featured a Marvel-themed event, bringing characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers into the Monopoly universe.

In related news, publisher Scopely has recently 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 crowned the top game for consumer spending in 2024, amassing an impressive $2.47 billion in revenue. The game also boasts 150 million downloads and 10 million daily users in 2024, solidifying its status as a mobile gaming juggernaut.
