Let’s face it: your social life is about to take another massive hit. The newly released Call of Duty: Warzone & Black Ops 7 Season 04 trailer just dropped, and it is packed with an absurd amount of content. Launching on June 4, this update brings a literal tidal wave of maps, modes, and weapons across Multiplayer, Warzone, Zombies, and Endgame.

Springfield is moving into MONOPOLY GO!, and honestly, it was only a matter of time.
The Simpsons Monopoly Go crossover is a limited-time event running from June 3 through July 29, 2026, where Scopely drops the entire town of Springfield into its hit mobile game. You get Simpsons characters, Simpsons boards, an original animated short, and yes, the ability to bribe Chief Wiggum your way out of jail.
It is free on iOS and Android. That is the short version. Stick around for the fun part.
The Simpsons Monopoly Go crossover is a season-long takeover that blends Springfield with MONOPOLY GO!’s board, characters, and chaos. Scopely built it in partnership with the creative team behind The Simpsons, and they are calling it the deepest collaboration in the game’s history.
Quick Answer: From June 3 to July 29, 2026, players (Scopely calls them “Tycoons”) move through reimagined Simpsons locations like the Nuclear Power Plant and Krustyland, all drawn in MONOPOLY GO!’s art style. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Mr. Burns show up next to Mr. Monopoly. It is free to download.
Some brand mashups feel like a contract signed at 2 a.m. This one does not.
Both MONOPOLY GO! and The Simpsons are built on the same DNA. Mischief. Greed. People who refuse to play by the rules. Scopely’s President of Games, Victor Diaz-Roig, said bringing the two worlds together felt natural from the start, and he is not wrong.
Here is the part that hits the nostalgia button. The last dedicated Simpsons mobile game was The Simpsons: Tapped Out, which launched in 2012 and finally shut its servers down in January 2025. So for over a year, Simpsons fans had no mobile game to call home. This is the first one since. That gap is exactly why “13 years” is such a flex.
MONOPOLY GO! is no stranger to big-name guests either. It has already run crossovers with Star Wars, Marvel, and Hello Kitty. Springfield just happens to be the loudest neighbor yet.
Scopely says this season changes how MONOPOLY GO! actually plays. For the first time, the gameplay becomes connected through ongoing Simpsons storylines. Here is the breakdown.
A new narrative Episode drops every two weeks. Think Homer-triggered nuclear meltdowns and a disappearance inside Krustyland, each one playing out across themed boards, mini-games, and short animated sequences. It is a soap opera, but with more radiation.
Every two weeks, a new Springfield resident takes over the Free Parking tile. Scopely teased Homer wheezing across town before face-planting into nuclear waste, and Marge breaking into her Krump dance. Pure Simpsons energy on a board game.
This is my favorite. Instead of just going to jail, you can bribe Chief Wiggum for a shot at bigger rewards. Of course, in true Simpsons fashion, things can spiral out of control fast. Springfield law enforcement, ladies and gentlemen.
More than 50 Chance Cards stuffed with classic references, memes, and one-liners. Data miners and community trackers have also spotted 21 sticker sets and 189 stickers tied to the album, so the collecting side runs deep.
Classic MONOPOLY GO! shutdowns and heists get the Springfield treatment, complete with runaway monorails and wrecking-ball destruction. If you remember the monorail episode, you already know how this ends.
This is the centerpiece, and it is a genuinely great idea.
The Simpsons team wrote and produced an original animated short to kick off the season, led by veteran Executive Producer Loni Steele Sosthand. It pits Mr. Monopoly, voiced by Will Ferrell, against Springfield’s most ruthless billionaire, Mr. Burns, voiced by Harry Shearer.
The plot? A chance run-in at the yacht harbor reignites a grudge dating back to their Yale college days over a stolen top hat. Two cartoon billionaires feuding over a hat for decades is the most believable thing I have read all week.
Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman said he was especially happy to reignite that rivalry. Smart move. Two of pop culture’s most iconic rich guys finally sharing a screen is the kind of thing that prints money.
Getting started is simple. Here is the play.
If you are wondering whether this game is actually a big deal, the stats answer that. According to Scopely:
Scopely also notes it is the #1 mobile games company in the U.S. and #2 globally, with more than $15 billion in lifetime revenue. So no, this is not a small indie experiment.
If you grew up quoting Simpsons episodes, this is an easy yes. It is free, it is loaded with deep-cut references, and it gives you a reason to revisit Springfield without rewatching all 38 seasons.
If you are already a Tycoon, the season fundamentally changes how the game feels for two months. Either way, the Simpson Monopoly Go crossover is the rare collab that respects both fanbases instead of slapping a logo on a board and calling it a day.
The event runs from June 3 through July 29, 2026.
Yes. MONOPOLY GO! is a free download on iOS and Android, and the Simpsons season is included at no extra cost.
Will Ferrell voices Mr. Monopoly and Harry Shearer voices Mr. Burns. The short was written and produced by The Simpsons team.
Scopely says it is The Simpsons’ first dedicated mobile game experience in 13 years. The last one, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, shut down in January 2025.
Highlights include narrative Episodes, The Simpsons Run, themed shutdowns and heists, 50+ Simpsons Chance Cards, and the ability to bribe Chief Wiggum to escape jail.
The Simpson Monopoly Go crossover is more than a skin swap. It is a full Springfield takeover with story, voice talent, and enough Easter eggs to keep fans hunting for two months straight.
You have from June 3 to July 29 to get in. After that, the monorail leaves without you.
