EA to Deliver Dynamic 3D MONOPOLY Gameplay Experience with MONOPOLY Streets

The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. today announced it is developing
MONOPOLY Streets for the Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

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.

“We’re taking Hasbro’s No. 1 family game brand and masterfully striking the
balance of offering the classic MONOPOLY play experience and adding a
spectacular new visual treatment as we bring the classic board to life with
players walking the streets of MONOPOLY,” said Chip Lange, General Manager and
Senior Vice President of EA’s Hasbro Division. “MONOPOLY Streets will bring
people together and connect families all over the world by offering online
gameplay through their gaming consoles. We think this unique, combined offering
will bring families together around the TV this holiday season for a classic
family gaming tradition they’ll remember for years to come.”

In addition, EA will further extend its MONOPOLY franchise with MONOPOLY
City, currently in development for Pogo.com. At launch, players will be able to
download the game from www.pogo.com for
instant fun on the PC.
