"Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go"

May 28,25

If you’re a fan of both mobile gaming and the galaxy far, far away, you’re in for a treat. Monopoly Go is joining forces with Star Wars to bring a touch of intergalactic charm to its classic real estate-themed gameplay. The collaboration, unveiled today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, runs from May 1 to July 2 and draws inspiration from iconic moments in the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian.

This exciting partnership doesn’t just reimagine beloved Star Wars characters with adorable cartoon twists—it also introduces a Star Wars Go sticker album for players to complete, podracing challenges in the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and collectible in-game items such as tokens, shields, and emojis. And yes, you read that right—the likes of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn will be mingling alongside Mr. Monopoly, otherwise known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.

This isn’t Monopoly Go’s first rodeo when it comes to crossovers. Last September, Marvel characters took center stage, with Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers all making appearances.

In other news, publisher Scopely recently acquired the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now as part of a deal with Niantic.

According to a report from our sister site GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly Go dominated the charts in 2024, raking in a staggering $2.47 billion in consumer spending, proving that this game is more than just a financial monopoly—it’s a cultural phenomenon. That same year, Scopely celebrated 150 million downloads and 10 million daily active users. [ttpp]
