Monopoly has been one of the most iconic board games in the world since the first version of the game launched all the way back in 1935. In the 87 years since the massively popular game launched, it has been adapted into countless different forms with plenty of spin-off board games and video games taking a different spin on the game’s tried and true formula. The popularity of Monopoly has also seen plenty of tie-in versions with popular media franchises and, now, Monopoly is officially crossing over with one of the biggest gaming crazes of recent years, Fall Guys.
Fall Guys similarly took the world by storm following its release in August 2020, gaining steam fast due to its popularity among streamers and the simple but addictive gameplay. Similar to Monopoly’s frequent tie-ins with pop culture juggernauts, Fall Guys has featured many of the biggest franchises in gaming, movies, and television as crossover costumes for the game’s iconic bean-shaped characters. Now, Fall Guys’ newest collaboration will bring the beans, Crowns, and Kudos to a tabletop environment.
Monopoly Fall Guys is just the most recent in a storied history of video games being adapted into the long-running board game. Many of gaming’s biggest franchises have been converted into a tabletop format through Monopoly from major franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon to some of today’s most popular games like Sea of Thieves and even YouTubers like Scott the Woz.
Throughout Fall Guys’ massive success since its release in 2020, one of the most popular elements of the game has been its wide variety of costumes for players to customize their characters. The game has featured several collaborations not only with games but with popular media franchises like A Nightmare Before Christmas and Tron, and content creators like Mr. Beast and Ninja. Fall Guys took the world by storm following its debut and the launch of Fall Guys Monopoly will only serve to further cement the game’s legacy in gaming history.
Fall Guys is available now for PC and PS4. Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch versions are currently in development.
