Star Wars and The Mandalorian Invade Monopoly Go

Mobile gaming sensation Monopoly GO! is joining forces with Star Wars in a limited-time collaboration that blends the iconic board game's real estate battles with the epic sci-fi universe. Announced today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this intergalactic event will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from key moments across the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian.

The collaboration introduces a fresh twist on Monopoly GO! by giving classic Star Wars characters an adorable cartoon-style makeover. Players can look forward to a brand-new Star Wars-themed sticker album to complete, thrilling podracing action in the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and a variety of exclusive in-game collectibles such as character tokens, protective shields, and themed emojis.

Imagine the surreal fun of seeing Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn casually hanging out with Mr. Monopoly—better known as Rich Uncle Pennybags—in a galaxy far, far away (and now on your mobile screen).

This isn’t Monopoly GO!’s first high-profile crossover; last September saw Marvel superheroes like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers stepping into the world of property trading.

Meanwhile, publisher Scopely continues to expand its reach in the mobile gaming space. Recently, it acquired the development teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now as part of a strategic partnership with Niantic.

According to data from our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly GO! reigned supreme as the highest-grossing mobile game of 2024, generating a staggering $2.47 billion in consumer spending—truly a year of "gold toilets for everyone on the team." That same year also saw the game hit 150 million downloads, with over 10 million daily active users worldwide.
