- Tycoon Racers is a new twist on Monopoly GO!’s Partner Events bringing team-based multiplayer
- The event is running from June 12th to June 16th
Monopoly GO! launched its first-ever team-based multiplayer event yesterday, June 12th, available for a very limited time until June 16th.
This special event, called Tycoon Racers, is a new twist on the game’s Partner Events that allows players to form squads with friends and compete against others in a race to the centre of the board.
Teams of four can face off against each other from all around the world, with unlockable prizes offering a bonus incentive to try out the mode on top of the freshness and intrigue around the new gameplay.
Team-up time
The addition of Tycoon Racers aims to add a “uniquely competitive experience” to Monopoly GO!, and its short window of availability is likely to lead many eager players to jump in and form teams as quickly as possible – another boost for the revenue juggernaut.
In Tycoon Racers, collaboration and teamwork are the names of the game. Teams can be formed with known friends and new strangers, who can each collect flags while waiting for a race to start. Then, when racing, each team is assigned a colour and they compete in a three-race championship, zooming through laps to earn sticker packs, flags, and rewards.
The team with the most medals wins, with victory prizes including a Wild Sticker and Tycoon Racer token.
“At Scopely, our commitment to innovation drives us to constantly introduce fresh events and features that redefine the gaming experience, fostering that competitive spirit and enjoyment among friends,” said VP of product roadmap for Monopoly GO! Ben O’Donnell.
“Tycoon Racers injects a new level of excitement and collaboration into the game, enabling players to achieve shared victories like never before.”
According to Sensor Tower’s latest report, Monopoly Go is the second mobile game ever to surpass $600 million in one quarter.
