The release of Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is fast approaching. Ubisoft has released more information about the new installment of the iconic board game, which this time will transport players to the Star Wars universe. The creators revealed the full list of special abilities available to heroes and villains and explained how best to combine individual characters into teams. Everything suggests the gameplay will be much more dynamic than the classic Monopoly. Victory will be determined not only by dice rolls but also by choosing the right strategy.
Each character will have their own special ability
In Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains, players can choose from 28 iconic characters from the Star Wars universe, split into 14 heroes and 14 villains. Each character has a unique ability that affects how the game plays out. The designers made sure to keep balance between the two sides of the conflict. Every hero has a counterpart among the villains with an identical effect. Special abilities let you, among other things, steal credits from rivals, upgrade owned properties, send opponents to jail, trigger extra battles, or move around the board faster. There are also abilities that make it easier to claim new properties and improve your odds in duels. As a result, each match can play out completely differently depending on the team you choose. The developers stress that picking the right characters will become one of the most important strategic elements. Dice rolls alone will no longer be enough to win. Players will have to plan team cooperation and exploit synergy between individual characters.
Developers suggest the best team combinations
Ubisoft also revealed several example character lineups prepared for different play styles. Players focused on quickly taking over properties should build a team around Padmé Amidala or Dedra Meero, whose abilities lower the cost to buy properties. Those who favor combat can go with Mace Windu or Asajj Ventress, who increase the odds in duels, and then round out the roster with characters that trigger additional battles. For players who prefer moving quickly around the board, there are combinations featuring Rose Tico, Captain Phasma, Finn or Boba Fett. There are also sets focused on earning credits or on making life difficult for opponents by frequently sending them to jail. According to the developers, the number of possible combinations is very large and players will be able to experiment with their own strategies. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will offer online play and a local multiplayer mode for 2v2 and 3v3 teams. The game launches on June 30 on Xbox Series X|S consoles.
