Behind-The-Scenes Story Of First IP Collaboration Between Monopoly Go And Marvel
It is well known that Scopely has launched the collaboration with Marvel and introduced a sticker album named Marvel Go last month. But how does this collaboration happens?
Recently, Scopely revealed the behind-the-scenes story of its collaboration with Marvel. The production staff talked about the content of the communication with Marvel and how it participated in the story, mainly involving how to involve superheroes in the game.
How Does New Ablun Kicks Off?
The adventure was mainly accidentally opened by Dr. Lizzie Bell, lead inventor of Monopoly Go. He accidentally discovered a portal that welcome superheroes like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Avengers into this fresh new world.
After that, players start their adventure and collect 20 unique sticker sets that features nostalgia and creativity along the way. As the game that celebrates collaboration and win-win, it supports players to trade those replicated Monopoly Go Stickers with their friends or even strangers for the needed one.
Moreover, you can also share Marvel characters and storylines with friends and players around the world, especially for loyal fans who are addicted to superheroes saving the world.
Why Choose Marvel As Collaboration Object?
When talking about why they want to cooperate with Marvel, the production team of Monopoly Go said that what they really want is to bring new, interesting and amazing content to players, and Marvel is their first consideration because they are highly compatible and the best brand in the candidate list.
They are astonished and surprised to see the depth and richness of Marvel’s characters and offer some amazing stories.
The production team said that the original purpose of Monopoly Go was essentially to try to integrate a game invented in the early 20th century into a game in 2024, 2025 and beyond.
The focus is on how to create a game that pays tribute to its original version, while looking to the future, re-adding new elements that conform to the public’s aesthetics and interests to it in the tide of the times, so that Monopoly Go can keep up with the times.
As one of the most successful brands, Marvel has a lot of overlap with Monopoly Go, whether in the aspects of characters, fans interaction or more.

The developer said that their team aims to incorporate the significant elements of Marvel into the game in some very interesting, a little cute and humorous ways.
