Starting June 3 and continuing through July 29, the event will see iconic Springfield locations given a Monopoly Go makeover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you an idea of just how big a deal the crossover is, People Magazine has even produced two covers starring the fictional billionaires, and GameSpot can exclusively reveal them. Both covers feature a few cheeky references to the duo, their wealth, and their attempts to pass themselves off as a regular person who just so happens to have an obscene amount of wealth&#8211;not too far removed from our current reality:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1778267\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"1024\" width=\"763\" data-id=\"1778267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Simpsons-1.jpg?w=763\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1778267\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1778266\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"1024\" width=\"763\" data-id=\"1778266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Simpsons-2.jpg?w=763\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1778266\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a magazine collector and you want to add these to your library, these issues of People Magazine will hit newsstands on June 5. Subscribers should expect to see them in their mailbox starting today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players can also expect to see the entire Simpsons family and Mr. Burns in the game, alongside other fan-favorite characters. Some of the new gameplay twists include hidden details, deep-cut references, and Easter eggs. Find yourself in jail, and you can even bribe Chief Wiggum to get out of the joint early.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Working closely with The Simpsons&nbsp;creative team, our talented game-makers at Scopely set out to do much more than simply&nbsp;place Springfield inside the game; we wanted to build an entirely new shared universe&nbsp;where these iconic characters, stories, and gameplay experiences could cross over,&#8221; said Victor&nbsp;Diaz-Roig, president of games at Scopely.&nbsp;&#8220;Every part of the season was designed with our Tycoons in mind, introducing fresh ways&nbsp;to play the game they love, while opening the doors for Simpsons fans to step into Monopoly Go&nbsp;for the very first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MONOPOLY GO! | THE SIMPSONS: Mr. Burns and Mr. Monopoly\u2019s Excellent\u00a0Rivalry\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pDxn0CD41b0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scopely says that Monopoly Go will feature interconnected gameplay and&nbsp;original Simpsons narratives unfolding across seasonal maps, animated sequences, and sets. Narrative-driven episodes are at the heart of the crossover, as Simpsons-inspired storylines will kick off every two weeks inside of Monopoly Go. From&nbsp;Homer-triggered nuclear meltdowns to Bart and Lisa disappearing inside Krustyland, each episode will be accompanied by collectibles, mini-games, and more than 50 Simpsons-themed Chance Cards.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

crossover will start with the debut of a Simpsons short, written and produced by The&nbsp;Simpsons team.&nbsp;The short sets the stage for the collaboration&#8217;s narrative, as&nbsp;it sees Mr. Monopoly (voiced by Will Ferrell)&nbsp;go head-to-head with&nbsp;Mr. Burns,&nbsp;in a rivalry that has been brewing for decades. This isn&#8217;t the first time that The Simpsons have headlined a mobile game&#8211;remember The Simpsons: Tapped Out?&#8211; and last year, Springfield&#8217;s favorite family took over Fortnite for an entire season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gamespot-blocks-embed-gallery\">\n<div class=\"image-gallery-collection\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"The 15 Best Simpsons Episodes From The Modern Era
