Monopoly Go’s developer, Scopely, has been making moves as of late. Only recently the company purchased Pokemon GO from Niantic, expanding its mobile empire. Bringing in Star Wars to its flagship title is a smart way to draw in more fans, and potentially have them explore other games by Scopely.

With the event launching on May 1st, it comes just in time for Star Wars Day on May 4th. Monopoly Go is available on both iOS and Android and offers various multiplayer features that make the game feel more lively. This joint effort between Star Wars and Monopoly Go will hopefully kick off more collaborations like this and continue to add new events to the mobile game.
