Lucasfilm Games has officially kicked off the rollout for MONOPOLY: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains, and yes, this is exactly what it sounds like: a Star Wars-flavored, team-based spin on Monopoly with heroes, villains, and a full reveal still on the way.
The first teaser confirms that the game launches on June 11, with the full reveal scheduled for April 29 during a May the 4th event push. Ubisoft has now published the game’s store page and a news post confirming the release window and broader platform plans.
This Is Not Just Standard Monopoly With a Star Wars Skin
That is the part that makes this a little more interesting.
According to Ubisoft’s official description, MONOPOLY: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is being pitched as a dynamic team-based twist on the classic board game, with reimagined gameplay, cinematic moments, themed spaces, and dynamic elements designed to keep matches from playing out the same way every time. Ubisoft also says players will build teams of iconic Star Wars heroes and villains, each with unique abilities that can influence strategy and swing the match.
The Star Wars Angle Looks Bigger Than a Simple Crossover
Ubisoft’s store page also describes the game as a battle for control of the galaxy, where players choose favorite heroes or villains and use their powers in a more competitive, combat-flavored version of Monopoly than the usual slow march toward bankruptcy. The Games Press announcement adds that the game supports team-based competitive play and frames hero combinations as a major part of winning, which suggests this is leaning hard into the “Heroes vs. Villains” concept rather than just using Star Wars art on a familiar board.
The Platform List Is Bigger Than You Might Expect
Ubisoft says the game launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, GeForce NOW, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. On the Ubisoft store page, the currently listed platform is PC digital, but Ubisoft’s official news post gives the fuller multi-platform rollout.
Why the April 29 Reveal Matters
The teaser trailer is short on purpose.
Ubisoft is clearly holding back the deeper look for April 29, when the full reveal is set to air as part of the broader May the 4th marketing cycle. That means what Lucasfilm Games shared today is really the opening move: enough to confirm the project, lock in the release date, and start getting Star Wars fans curious about how far this game is willing to push the Monopoly formula. That final point is an inference based on Ubisoft’s teaser-first rollout and the announced full reveal date.
A Weird Release? Yes. But Also a Very Star Wars One
Honestly, this is the kind of announcement that sounds random for about five seconds and then starts to make a surprising amount of sense.
Star Wars has always been huge in board games, tabletop spinoffs, and character-based faction matchups. A Heroes vs. Villains version of Monopoly was probably inevitable at some point. The bigger question now is whether Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive can make it feel like more than a novelty. Based on the official wording so far, they are at least trying to make this one more eventful and more strategy-driven than a normal licensed reskin. That interpretation is based on the official gameplay descriptions, not a hands-on preview.
June 11 Is Locked In — Now We Wait for the Real Look
So the short version is this: MONOPOLY: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is real, it launches on June 11, and the full reveal lands on April 29.
If nothing else, it has already earned points for being one of the stranger Star Wars game announcements of the year. And if the full reveal actually shows a clever hero-versus-villain strategy twist, this could end up being much more than a curiosity for collectors and casual fans.
