Ubisoft has announced MONOPOLY Madness, an upcoming multiplayer arena battler game that re-invents Hasbro’s iconic property trading board game MONOPOLY. The madness begins on December 9 – in time for the holiday season – when it launches on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5*, Nintendo SwitchTM, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store!
Watch the Trailer Announcement:
Fans have played the standard MONOPOLY online, perhaps even for free through Ubisoft’s month-long initiative during the height of the pandemic to support people staying confined at home. The rules are the same: progress, invest and watch the cities live, evolve and prosper before your very eyes.
So how is the MONOPOLY Madness formula different, transported into a 3D world? Not only are the symbols blown up and the aesthetics updated, it is a fast-paced new take on the timeless family boardgame that sees up to six players battle it out to purchase and upgrade properties across a city-like map. With shorter rounds, race other players around the chaotic streets of Monopoly City to win the race for riches.
Obviously the ultimate goal is still to own the most properties and accumulate the most money, but success can easily be thwarted by random board events, tricks and other players bulldozing one’s empire. The game is also set to include 20 playable characters inspired by classic Monopoly game tokens, and there are 20 different arenas that have several levels and layouts.
A New Way To Play – Explained:
- In MONOPOLY Madness, players compete to buy and upgrade properties in MONOPOLY City while Mr. Monopoly is away on his well-earned vacation. They will face up to 5 other players in shorter rounds that are a frantic, real-time race on the chaotic streets of MONOPOLY City without the boundaries of the board.
- Players will need to collect money and other resources around the map in order to buy and upgrade their properties. The more properties players own, the more points they’ll earn, bringing them closer to the finish line in the race to riches! Along the way, players can also grab powers ups from Community Chests including bulldozers, jackhammers and more and use them against opponents to gain an advantage to win. However, players will need to watch out for random events that can happen at any time, making the journey to become the wealthiest of them all even more chaotic.
- 20 new playable characters inspired by the classic MONOPOLY game tokens can be played on four unique environments with their own unique ambiance and architecture, including the iconic City and its Night Life, Beach Town and Cozy Falls. Each environment comes with several levels and layout, giving a total of 20 different arenas to play.
