But this time around it's a famous yellow family that's taking centre stage with the arrival of The Simpsons!
Yes, The Simpsons clan is arriving in Monopoly Go starting June 3rd and running through to July 29th. The Monopoly Go board will be transformed with iconic locations from Springfield and beyond, while a host of exciting in-game events lets you follow the misadventures of your favourite characters.

Cowabunga!
Yes, yes, The Simpsons has arguably overstayed its welcome in pop culture by, well, decades at this point. But I've no doubt many of you are still excited to see characters like Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa (what, no Bumblebee Man?) taking to the board for this new collaboration.To fit the theme of an animated series, this new collaboration will be split into 'episodes' played out over different, interconnected, themed boards featuring original animation segments and minigames to complete. Not to mention a full animated short detailing the rivalry between Mr Monopoly and Mr Burns.
Beyond that, there are exclusive sticker sets to collect, Simpsons-themed runs, shutdowns and heists, not to mention the ability to bribe everyone's favourite corrupt police chief Wiggum for a chance to get out of jail. While The Simpsons may be a bit dated, there's still plenty of nostalgia value for fans of everyone's favourite yellow family to be had here.
