Ubisoft has announced the famous board game Monopoly is returning to Switch in September 2024.
This "new" Monopoly game will come with improved graphics and gameplay to really help "bring the tabletop experience to life". You'll be able to play with up to six players in your living room (with the ability to share a single controller) and you can also take on the world in online matches.
To top it off, you'll also be able to customise your game experience with your favourite dice, token aesthetic and even custom "homemade" rule set. This new version will include additional modes like "Fast Mode" and "Speed Die" as well to speed up matches.
"In the new MONOPOLY, the classic franchise returns with improved graphics and gameplay that brings the tabletop experience to life. When players move around the board, they can admire the neighborhood and watch as it transforms before their eyes, from sunny mornings to stormy nights. Explore every nook and cranny of the city to uncover hidden tokens, but vigilant players beware! Keep an eye out for Mr. Monopoly, who may be hiding in plain sight!"

...I just keep hearing these Ubisoft games run horribly...also, it's...Ubisoft, so, um...yeah.
Maybe it's just me, but I've never found myself playing a board game and thinking "man, this would be a lot more fun if it were on a screen".
Gamers everywhere are crying tears of joy that finally we have the technology advanced enough to create a monopoly game for the very first time EVER!
Man I can’t wait to play Monopoly! Monopoly Go is ofc the original but it’s nice they are making a Switch version. I wonder if we’ll ever get an IRL version…
I get that monopoly is popular and companies love money, but dang it there are a ton of good board games not on switch. I would love spectre ops or mansions of madness/journeys of middle earth on switch and dozens more.
why are they making a second one?
@NintonicGamer : And the relatively basic one released back in 2017 was already pretty rough.
@Jiggies : I used to think the same until the Switch released. Tabletop mode especially makes it an ideal choice for taking board games on the go without the bulk, possibility of losing pieces, rules not being adhered to etc. Plus you got a home console and portable experience in one instead of having to buy two separate versions.
On previous hardware, however, I would never have looked twice at these sorts of games.
I’m always down for some digital monopoly. I would love a licensed edition that pulled in all the licensed boards as skins. I do wish they would update the prices though. There is a board game version that was updated some, but it is never made into a game.
Yes! Monopoly! So that makes like 2 games announced for switch during this not E3 week? I don't think I can handle the twilight months leading into switch 2. Then again I made it through the WiiU days.
@N8tiveT3ch Yeah but you had Xenoblade Chronicles X 😉
@Ulysses still love that game... 🥲
Do I need to play The first Monopoly to get the most out of this one?
This announcement took me back. I used to play Monopoly on the original Gameboy.
Yeesh...haven't played any Monopoly games since I've played the one on Genesis & PS1.
@Erigen Monopoly games are running at locked 60 FPS on any other hardware.
I already have 2-3 of these Monopoly games on PC from UBI.
Since Monopoly is the 2023 mobile game that brought in the most money, this ain't surprising.
And won't that be the 3rd game on Switch, they also made one weird/crazy version, right.
Ubisoft also needs pocket money XD
@GrailUK Very important, it will save you from buying the new one.
Someone should tell Ubisoft the noun they're looking for in the video title is "announcement".
I might pick it up in the inevitable 80% off sale
SteamForged should setup a KickStarter to make this into a board game.
Doubt I'll get it myself, but happy for those who will as long as it ends up being good and yes, there are benefits to having such board games digitally instead of physically and even more so on Switch as some comments mentioned!
That's fantastic, lol
What happened to poor Ubisoft?!?!? 🫣🫣🫣
Hmm... Right now, I just want to see Fortune Street on the Switch.
So micro transactions, constant internet connection and needing a UBI account?
@GrailUK Monopoly has very deep lore, so I would play the first game if I were you
@CaleBoi25 Are you talking about Monopoly Go! on mobile or something else? Because this looks nothing like that game. (I'm assuming you meant something else, but I am not familiar with what you are talking about it being the "original.")
I wonder what this Monopoly have that is not in the Monopoly game that is already on Switch.
@dew12333 pmsl!
@IceEarthGuard I was making a joke, like Monopoly Go! is not the OG, and wondering if they will ever make a physical version.
Oh Ubisoft. Do you think you could at least try to make my boycott of your games a little challenging?
Honestly, Im down for a board game on my Switch. My concern is that it will be garbage. I’ve heard only negative things about Catan on Switch (different developer) but I have heard good things about Monopoly.
I loaded up the store page and got confused real quick because… and maybe I am just stupid, but I don’t understand the difference between Monopoly (already on Switch) and Monopoly, dropping this fall.
Store page on Ubisoft’s website is incredibly unclear.
@GrailUK if you don’t play the SNES version you will be confused by the narrative direction of the franchise.
(Snicker. Ok I couldn’t hold it in…. Hahahaha)
@Ryu_Niiyama
I do enjoy some digital monopoly, but like others here I wonder the difference between this and the older version. Hope there are a lot of unlockables or something to keep it interesting.
