MOONTON Games’ Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Gets a Major Refresh and Exclusive Content for 5th Anniversary
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has emerged as one of the most popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) mobile games. With a focus on intense 5v5 battles and an emphasis on real-time teamwork against human opponents, the game is built to play on phones and mobile devices, with 10-second matchmaking and 10-minute matches.
Featuring traditional battle arena gameplay, players must fight over three lanes to take emy’s tower and defend their own. Like classic MOBAs, there is no hero training or pay to play angle—winners and losers are decided based on skill, ability, and strategy.
Simple to learn but with numerous nuances to master, MLBB is built on the best elements of a classic MOBA desktop experience by keeping the interface intuitive while maintaining a high replay value. MOONTON has also found ways to keep things fresh with substantive content drops through the years — like collaborations with Star Wars.
To reward fans and players for their loyalty and support over the last five years, MOONTON Games has announced a 5hare Fun, Forge Legends event to celebrate the game’s 5th anniversary, including:
Transformers, Roll Out!
Continuing the wildly popular crossover theme with beloved pop culture IPs, players can look forward to a truckload of new content featuring the legendary Transformers franchise. In addition to cosmetic rewards such as avatar borders and emotes, the likes of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and more will be playable as skins!
The three heroes, Johnson (Optimus Prime), X.Borg (Bumblebee), and Granger (Megatron) will allow players to roll into the Land of Dawn looking primed for battle. To obtain the skins, players need to retrieve six “spray parts” for each Transformer to exchange for their respective skins. Although the first phase is already over, participants will have plenty of opportunities to obtain the exclusive Transformers skins with an increased drop rate for each spray part.
The remaining schedule is as follows:
-2nd phase (through September 27) – increased drop rate for Bumblebee spray
-3rd phase (September 28 to October 25) – increased drop rate for Megatron spray
-4th phase (October 26 to November 11) – increased drop rate for Optimus Prime spray
Also of note: once players steer their support towards the Autobots or the Decepticons, they can earn even more cosmetic rewards depending on their allegiance!
Project NEXT Updates and a New Hero
The Project NEXT initiative will revamp the game in several ways including tweaks to the battle action, hero balancing, and an overhauled Brawl mode.
Plus, longtime and new players alike can login to obtain free in-game items during the celebration period, with exclusive avatar borders, emotes, and other cool effects up for grabs. Other surprises in store include a new hero, Floryn, a mystical beauty who conjures a unique magic that can both heal your crew and deal damage to the enemy.
Get Moon Goddess Miya skin for free
From September 21st to mid-October, users can get new limited skins for free through event or campaign participation. Exclusive anniversary-specific skins can be won and are part of a larger collection of all-new anniversary animated shorts and original soundtracks to mark the occasion. Additionally, a new Moon Goddess skin created exclusively for Miya, the moonlight archer, can be acquired by anyone who logs into their account during the 5th anniversary event period.
Celebrate Together
As MOONTON Games preps the stage for the upcoming birthday celebration, more details on revamped characters will be unveiled soon, including updated info on Hayabusa, Kagura, Lancelot, and Odette.
Players can expect to see skill changes and design reworks that enhance character usability—the charming Harper even gets an update as well. There’s also a new weather effect in the Lobby screen as part of a UI refresh.
