  "textContent": "The Simmmmmmppppppsooooooonnnnnnnsssssss. We all heard it when we read it. Monopoly GO! has heard of The Simpsons as well, and is bringing a deep collaboration to their platform. Check out the details and trailer below!\n\n> June 1, 2026: Video game company **Scopely** is bringing the blockbuster mobile game **MONOPOLY GO!** and**_The Simpsons_ together **in an unpredictable and hilarious adventure, where **beloved** **characters and worlds cross over like never before** through irreverent storytelling, dynamic gameplay and striking animation.\n>\n> Created in partnership with the culture-defining team behind **_The Simpsons_** and **Scopely** ’s world-class gamemakers, the crossover marks _The Simpsons_ ’ **first return to a dedicated mobile game experience in more than a decade** (13 years to be exact). Together, the teams have created **an entirely new universe** that stays true to the essence of both MONOPOLY GO! and _The Simpsons_ while delivering a wholly unexpected experience that goes far beyond a traditional integration.\n\n### **Check out this BTS video to hear from the creative teams at Scopely and The Simpsons!**\n\n> From**June 3 through July 29** , players (aka “Tycoons”) can build, explore and progress through _The Simpsons’_ most recognizable locations — all reimagined in MONOPOLY GO!’s stunning art style — from the **Nuclear Power Plant to Krustyland** and beyond. Along the way, **legendary _Simpsons_ characters **including**Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Mr. Burns appear side-by-side with Mr. Monopoly, Scottie** and the signature iconography of MONOPOLY GO!\n>\n> **Humor and mischief** are infused into every corner of the experience, packed with hidden details, deep-cut references and Easter Eggs at every turn. From **Chance Cards peppered with fan-favorite _Simpsons_ references and memes** to the ability to **bribe Chief Wiggum to escape Jail** , the collaboration blends the comedy and cultural relevance of _The Simpsons_ with MONOPOLY GO!’s charm in surprising and hilarious ways.\n>\n> “MONOPOLY GO! and _The Simpsons_ share a love of mischief, humor and not playing by the rules, so bringing these two worlds together felt natural from the start,” said **Victor Diaz-Roig, President of Games at Scopely**. “Working closely with _The Simpsons_ creative team, our talented gamemakers at Scopely set out to do much more than simply place Springfield inside the game; we wanted to build an entirely new shared universe where these iconic characters, stories and gameplay experiences could cross over. Every part of the season was designed with our Tycoons in mind, introducing fresh ways to play the game they love, while opening the doors for _Simpsons_ fans to step into MONOPOLY GO! for the very first time.”\n>\n> “ _The Simpsons_ has always been incredibly collaborative, so when we bring Springfield into a new space — especially mobile gaming for the first time in many years — finding partners who really understand the humor and spirit of the show matters a lot,” **said Matt Selman, Showrunner and Executive Producer of _The Simpsons_. **“The Scopely team brought a ton of creativity and attention to detail to this experience, and they packed the game with jokes, references and weird little surprises that fans will have fun discovering. I was especially happy we reignited a decades-old billionaire rivalry between Mr. Burns and Mr. Monopoly.”\n>\n> **For the first time in MONOPOLY GO! history,** gameplay becomes interconnected through original _Simpsons_ narratives unfolding across seasonal maps, animated sequences and elegantly designed sticker sets.\n\n### **Here’s a look at what’s new:**\n\n  * **Episodes:** At the heart of the experience are narrative-driven Episodes, where original _Simpsons_ -inspired storylines unfold inside MONOPOLY GO! every two weeks.\n    * From**Homer-triggered nuclear meltdowns** to**Bart and Lisa disappearing inside Krustyland** , each Episode plays out across interconnected seasonal boards, collectible Episode Sticker Sets, themed mini-games and short animated sequences that carry players from one adventure to the next.\n\n\n\n  * **Episode Sticker Sets:** Every new Episode introduces a limited-time Sticker Set inspired by the latest _Simpsons_ story, featuring collectible artwork, character journeys and exclusive rewards, only available during that Episode window.\n  * **The _Simpsons_ Run:** Every two weeks, a new Springfield resident takes over the Free Parking tile, launching character-driven runs across the board packed with hazards and humor inspired by their most memorable quirks.\n    * From Homer wheezing his way through Springfield before falling into nuclear waste, to Marge breaking into her iconic Krump dance, the feature packs plenty of _Simpsons_ -themed laughs directly onto the MONOPOLY GO! board.\n\n\n\n  * **_Simpsons_ -Themed Shutdown & Heists:** Springfield chaos takes over classic MONOPOLY GO! shutdowns and heists, with runaway Monorails, wrecking-ball destruction and hilariously over-the-top animation inspired by the show’s most memorable disasters.\n  * **Bribe Wiggum:** A new twist on “Go to Jail” lets players bribe Chief Wiggum for a shot at bigger rewards - though in true _Simpsons_ and MONOPOLY GO! fashion, things can spiral out of control just as quickly.\n\n\n\n  * **_Simpsons_ Chance Cards: **More than 50 _Simpsons_ -themed Chance Cards, packed with classic references, memes and cheeky one-liners inspired by the show’s most memorable moments.\n\n\n\n  * Players can also discover a wide range of **mini-games, tokens, collectibles and surprises**!\n\n\n\n> **The Animated Short - Mr. Burns and Mr. Monopoly’s Excellent Rivalry** Introducing the season is an original _Simpsons_ animated short, **written and produced by _The Simpsons_ team**, led by veteran **Executive Producer Loni Steele Sosthand.** The short sets the stage for the collaboration’s narrative, introducing the humor, rivalry and chaos that unfold throughout the experience. It sees Mr. Monopoly go head-to-head with Springfield’s most notoriously ruthless billionaire, **Mr. Burns, played by Harry Shearer** , in a rivalry that has been brewing for decades.\n>\n> In the episode, a chance encounter in Springfield (at the yacht harbor, of course) reignites an old grudge dating back to Mr. Monopoly and Mr. Burns’ college days at Yale over a stolen top hat. Things escalate quickly as the two moguls spiral into a battle filled with plenty of hijinks and familiar faces from Springfield and the world of MONOPOLY GO!\n>\n> Watch the animated short here**.**\n>\n>  MONOPOLY GO! featuring the world of _The Simpsons_ , will be available June 3 through July 29 as a free download on iOS and Android.\n\n**Stay tuned to GamingTrend for more Monopoly GO! news and info!**",
