Electronic Arts sent out a press release announcing that
Monopoly Streets will be available in Autumn of 2010 for Wii, PS3 and
Xbox 360.
For the first time ever, players will experience MONOPOLY, one of the
world’s favorite family game brands, as a fully dynamic,
living, 3D world that continuously evolves with the video game action.
Additionally, MONOPOLY Streets will feature online multiplayer and
unique downloadable content for Xbox360 and PlayStation 3 players
around the world. Scheduled to launch in fall of 2010, the experience
will offer an assortment of features that add to the thrill of becoming
a MONOPOLY real estate mogul. Hasbro's classic MONOPOLY will also be
available on the Nintendo DS in conjunction with the release of
MONOPOLY Streets.
In recognition of the MONOPOLY brand entertaining families around the
globe for 75 years, MONOPOLY Streets will offer players the ability to
become completely immersed within a MONOPOLY-themed world, re-imagined
to experience the game at street level. Developing properties within
high rent districts will produce lavish houses and hotels that appear
within the world and further substantiate its visual appeal, while
developing in the less expensive areas provide more modest, but no less
interesting, establishments. The game will also feature player-owned
headquarters that rise and fall along with the Player's fortunes
– large and luxurious when winning, stunted and minuscule
when losing. For purists, MONOPOLY Streets will offer classic game
board modes, as well.
MONOPOLY Streets will come loaded with an array of imaginative twists
such as the ability to establish “house rules”
where players can save their own set of customized rules tailored to
their group of friends. In addition, players will be able to create and
play as their own Wii Mii or Xbox 360 avatar, and have the city
populated by their friend's Wii Mii or Xbox 360 avatars. Online play
will also ratchet up the fun on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, allowing
players to find and challenge other aspiring moguls while tracking
ranking and progress on local, national and world leaderboards.
Additionally, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will feature an
assortment of downloadable content that may include a variety of items
such as themed boards and tokens.
