What They’re Saying:
- Eric Wood, Scopely Senior VP of Publishing: “When I first reached out to them, I didn’t know how they would respond, and the reason why is because it’s not an obvious place for Marvel to show up. Traditionally, within the game space, Marvel has historically shown up in games that are more action-based. So think of an action RPG, or just RPG or card battle, or what have you, or open-world battle game. And so when we first started to discuss with them, they were open to it, but they were also curious more so than anything of like, ‘Okay, but why?’ And to their credit, they were very open in thinking through what this could look like. And the more and more that the two teams started to discuss ideas and concepts, I think the more they got excited, because it was very different from what you’ve already seen within the gaming space from the brand and where and when it’s shown up.”
- Massimo Maietti, Monopoly Go! General Manager: “In this case, ‘Monopoly Go!’ has so many minigames and features where we believe we can cover this vast tapestry of the Marvel universe as it encounters the Monopoly universe, as well as go deep on some specific storylines or funny moments or hidden details of a character. We introduce Marvel to our game in a way that all players will be happy to see things they know, as well as for true Marvel fans that might meet Monopoly for the first time.”
