Scopely has partnered with Disney for a Star Wars collaboration that brings characters and locations from across The Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian to Monopoly Go!.

The two media giants detailed their crossover event further with a trailer this morning, explaining that Monopoly Go! players can unlock and enjoy Star Wars content for the next two months starting today. Scopely says the event is “rooted in a deep and compelling narrative” that follows local robot Peg-E after she visits Mr. Monopoly’s movie theater.

“Captivated by the cinematic magic of Star Wars, her daydreams take flight, reimagining the MONOPOLY GO! universe within the Star Wars galaxy,” an official description says. “In the ensuing adventure, players will be transported into timeless tales of good and evil, Jedi and Sith, and the light and dark side — kickstarting a series of action-packed in-game events, collectibles and surprises.”

With the Monopoly Go! Star Wars crossover comes a limited-time 22-sticker album that ties to the Star Wars universe. May the 4th, specifically, will see players gifted an exclusive token, with a variety of other themed additions available to nab throughout the duration of the collaboration. You can see a list of highlights included, as outlined by Scopely, below.

Monopoly Go! x Star Wars Crossover Event

• ‘Pod’ and ‘Rebel’ Racers: Race iconic Star Wars vehicles through the Mos Espa Grand Arena and the frozen wasteland of Hoth in a twist on MONOPOLY GO!’s high-stakes multiplayer event, Tycoon Racers.
• ‘Star Wars’, ‘Jedi’ and ‘Hyperspace’ Partners Events: Team up with friends to construct larger-than-life Star Wars-themed statues of iconic characters and starships from the Star Wars galaxy, and reap fantastic rewards together.
• ‘Tatooine’, ‘Jawa’ and ‘Tusken’ Treasures: Journey to the Outer Rim planet Tatooine in three special dig-themed events, uncovering relics and treasures inspired by the Star Wars canon.
• Exclusive Collectibles: Collect themed tokens, emojis, signature dice, and shields by completing sticker albums and event challenges, bringing galactic flair to the MONOPOLY GO! experience.

The launch of the Monopoly Go! and Star Wars crossover follows its official reveal as the latest Scopely collaboration last month. Its full debut today gives players until July 2 to enjoy what it has to offer.

I’ve put way too many hours into Stardew Valley building my own cozy little farm. And although taking care of a farm is its own full-time job, I always try to find time to make every character’s favorite foods. The recipes in Stardew Valley can be pretty simple but the final pixelated result always looks appetizing to me. I’ve definitely imagined what each dish tastes like as I whip it up in the game, but I never really thought about making the recipes in real life until I came across the Stardew Valley cookbook.

The official cookbook for the game was written in collaboration with the game’s creator ConcernedApe (Eric Barone). As someone who loves Stardew Valley and cooking, I’ve put this video game cookbook at the top of my gift wishlist for 2025.

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for some news, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios seems confident it will impress. Or, as Arrowhead’s CEO is framing it, you might want to prepare yourself.

As spotted by VideoGamer, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani was discussing Helldivers 2 in the game’s Discord when a user asked him if he could “offer up anything, however small, of what’s coming down the pipe.” His response?

“You’ll shit your pants.”

While not specific about what’s in store, it does at least give us an idea of the impact of what’s in store. And the possible consequences to our britches, too.

Jorjani took a few other questions, with some notable mentions of wanting to add more bladed weapons and some thoughtful responses to worries about content droughts. There’s some open transparency about the technical debt of something like Helldivers 2, and how the team handles it over time, that’s really cool to see alongside funny quotes about distressing your jeans.

There’s already been some tease about what’s to come, involving a flag with both a pointy end and a grippy section. Currently, Arrowhead said it is aiming for May 8 to announce its next Warbond, and there will be “more exciting news to come not long after.”

In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead’s production director Alex Bolle said the studio wants to be around for “years and years and years to come,” and that it’s continuing to work on developing Helldivers 2 while staying true to what the team wants to do.

“The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, and we still have a way to go to figure out a lot of things around that, the more we can let creativity loose on new systems that we would’ve never thought about a year ago when we released,” Bolle told IGN. “I’ve worked on live games before and it’s where you feel like you have something you can figure out: what if I would do this cool thing I’ve seen in other games and adapt it to our sauce, that still makes it true to ourselves? I’m looking forward to this moment.”

We’ll start to find out what cool things Arrowhead has in store for Helldivers 2 next week. You might want to bring some extra pants.

Amazon UK is back with one of the only means that general Pokémon TCG fans can get packs from the Scarlet & Violet Prismatic Evolutions and 151 sets: an invite system.

While booster packs alone aren’t available, the retailer has added the Prismatic Evolutions Accessory Pouch Special Collection and the 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection to its stock. The only way to have a chance at getting either is by requesting an invite to purchase on each collection’s product page.
