From Scopely:
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!
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, introducing the humor, rivalry and chaos that unfold throughout the experience. It sees Mr. Monopoly — voiced by Will Ferrell — 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.
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!
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.
“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.”
“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.”
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.
