The galaxy has seen plenty of epic battles between the light and dark sides of the Force, but none have involved buying properties, collecting credits and rolling dice quite like this. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains has arrived, blending one of the world’s most recognisable board games with one of cinema’s biggest franchises in a fresh team-based adventure.
Available now for £24.99, the latest take on Monopoly launches on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC, introducing strategic multiplayer battles where heroes and villains fight for control of the board together.

This Isn’t The Monopoly You Remember
Forget long family arguments over Mayfair and Park Lane. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains gives the classic formula an overhaul by turning every match into a team contest.
Players can jump into 2v2 or 3v3 multiplayer, either online or via local couch co-op, creating squads made up of famous Star Wars characters from across the saga. Whether you’re siding with the heroes or embracing the dark side, success comes from building the right combination of characters rather than simply relying on lucky dice rolls.
It’s still unmistakably Monopoly, but with far more tactical depth than the traditional board game.
Assemble Your Dream Star Wars Squad
Rather than acting as simple player tokens, each Star Wars character brings unique abilities that can influence the outcome of a game.
Characters such as Princess Leia and Darth Maul each possess special powers capable of shifting momentum, encouraging players to experiment with different team combinations and strategies. Finding the right balance between offensive and defensive abilities could prove just as important as making smart property investments.
Throw in dynamic GO events that can instantly change ownership of spaces or reshape the board, and no lead is ever completely safe.
Every Match Tells A Different Story
Ubisoft is clearly aiming for quicker, more unpredictable games than classic Monopoly is known for.
Unlockable cosmetics, constantly evolving team strategies and game-changing board events ensure that each match plays out differently, giving players plenty of reasons to keep coming back for another round.
For Star Wars fans, there’s also the added appeal of battling across iconic locations inspired by every era of the franchise, bringing familiar worlds into the Monopoly universe.
Will You Join The Light Side Or The Dark Side?
Monopoly has always had a habit of testing friendships. Add lightsabers, Force powers and legendary Star Wars heroes and villains into the mix, and family game night could become even more competitive.
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is available now on Xbox Series X|S (through the Xbox Store), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC for £24.99. The only question left is whether you’ll rule the board for the Rebellion… or the Empire.
