Monopoly Fall Guys Edition Promises Obstacle-Dodging Chaos
A Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout-themed Monopoly board game recently released, offering obstacle-dodging chaos for the whole family. Hasbro has partnered with multiple pop culture franchises to produce Monopoly spinoffs in recent years, with the Animal Crossing: New Horizons board serving as but one example. As many are well aware, even the likes of The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and Fortnite have received the Monopoly treatment in the past.
That Fall Guys constitutes the latest game property to get the cross-media treatment hardly comes as a surprise. The title launched on PC and PS4 in the summer of 2020 and quickly took the internet by storm, thanks in no small part to developer Mediatonic's brilliant marketing and PR crew. At every turn, brands the world over were jumping at the chance to have their mascots featured as a Fall Guys bean. From Godzilla and Bomberman to Tron and Cuphead, the Fall Guys crossover skins have become the stuff of legend. The latest crossover sees the battle royale brand joining someone else's world, though.
Developer Mediatonic recently confirmed that Hasbro has begun selling a Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Edition of Monopoly, presently purchasable through Amazon for customers based in the United States. (Apparently, the board game will receive a worldwide release sometime "soon.") Priced at $26.49, this version of the classic board game includes 9 "interactive obstacles," such as Moving Wall, and Knockout Die, which players roll at the start of every turn. Buying Rounds, collecting Crowns, and earning Kudos seem to be the name of the game for Fall Guys' Monopoly edition, something fans of the online title are undoubtedly familiar with.
The core tenets of the nascent franchise are all accounted for in Fall Guys' Monopoly board - the colorful artwork, quirky characters, and over-the-top obstacles included. Since yeeting other players severs as another gameplay possibility, even more fans will likely feel enticed to give the tabletop experience a try.
Apart from the newly released Monopoly game, Fall Guys remains locked on PC and PlayStation platforms. When the battle royale experience will migrate to Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles presently remains unknown to the public, though a Halo skin leak in October of last year seemed to suggested an Xbox version was imminent.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available to play now on PC, PS4, and PS5; the Monopoly game is purchasable in the U.S. through Amazon as of writing.
