"With this dynamic take on Hasbro's classic board game, we've accelerated the pace of play, added new interactive mini-game sequences and integrated multiplayer moments designed to make Monopoly a non-stop party for the whole family."
"It promises to be a very exciting fall for Monopoly fans worldwide. EA has done a tremendous job of re-imagining the world's most popular board game by remaining true to the traditional gameplay that millions of consumers have come to love while also creating new digital twists that can only be achieved in an interactive world," added Mark Belcher, Hasbro's general manager of digital media and gaming. "Rolling the dice and passing go will never be the same."
EA Casual's new Monopoly videogame is set to release across all platforms in conjunction with the worldwide launch of a new, updated version of the board game this fall.
