Mobile gaming sensation Monopoly GO! is stepping into a galaxy far, far away with an exciting collaboration featuring Star Wars. Announced today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this limited-time event runs from May 1 to July 2 and draws inspiration from the epic moments of the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian.
As part of the partnership, iconic Star Wars characters receive a charming cartoon-style transformation, blending seamlessly into the whimsical world of Monopoly GO!. The event introduces a new Star Wars themed sticker album to complete, thrilling podracing action at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and a range of collectible in-game items such as special tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the surreal yet entertaining sight of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn chilling with Mr. Monopoly—otherwise known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.
This isn't Monopoly GO!’s first high-profile crossover. Last September saw a Marvel-themed event where Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers joined the game's colorful lineup.
Meanwhile, Scopely, the publisher behind Monopoly GO!, continues to expand its mobile gaming influence. Recently, the company welcomed the development teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now as part of a strategic acquisition deal with Niantic.
According to reporting from our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly GO! dominated the mobile gaming market in 2024, becoming the year’s top-grossing title with an astonishing $2.47 billion in consumer spending. That kind of revenue could certainly justify gold-plated toilets for the entire team. In the same year, Scopely celebrated over 150 million downloads and reached a milestone of 10 million daily active users.
