"Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go"

Mobile gaming sensation Monopoly GO! is going interstellar with a brand-new collaboration that brings the galaxy far, far away right into your mobile screen. Announced today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this limited-time event runs from May 1 to July 2 and draws inspiration from iconic moments across the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian.

As part of the crossover, players can expect a fun, reimagined universe where classic Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn step into the whimsical world of Monopoly GO!. Picture these legendary figures hanging out with Mr. Monopoly—otherwise known as Rich Uncle Pennybags—for a truly quirky blend of sci-fi and board game charm.

This special season introduces several new gameplay elements inspired by the Star Wars universe, including:

• A collectible Star Wars GO sticker album to complete
• Podracing action on the Mos Espa Grand Arena
• Exclusive in-game items such as themed tokens, shields, and emojis

It’s not the first time Monopoly GO! has embraced pop culture. Last September saw a blockbuster Marvel-themed event featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers stepping into the property-trading fray.

Meanwhile, developer Scopely continues to expand its mobile dominance. Recently, the company acquired the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now as part of a strategic partnership with Niantic.

And just how big is Monopoly GO!? According to a report from our sister site, [GamesIndustry.biz], the game was the top-grossing mobile title of 2024, generating an astonishing $2.47 billion in consumer spending. That same year also marked 150 million downloads and reached 10 million daily active users—a testament to its global popularity and addictive gameplay loop.

So whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan or a seasoned real estate tycoon in training, get ready to roll the dice on a galactic adventure like never before.
