"Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go"

Mobile gaming enthusiasts, get ready for an out-of-this-world experience as Monopoly Go gears up to collaborate with the iconic Star Wars universe. Announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this exciting partnership will run from May 1 to July 2, drawing inspiration from the epic events of the Skywalker Saga and the adventures of The Mandalorian.

During the Star Wars season on Monopoly Go, players will enjoy seeing beloved Star Wars characters transformed into adorable cartoon versions. The season introduces a Star Wars Go sticker album for you to complete, thrilling podracing events at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and a range of collectible in-game items including tokens, shields, and emojis. Imagine the fun of having Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn mingling with Mr. Monopoly, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags.

This isn't the first time Monopoly Go has embraced a crossover; last September, the game welcomed Marvel characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers into its universe.

In other news, publisher Scopely has expanded its portfolio by acquiring the teams behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now from Niantic, further cementing its position in the mobile gaming market.
