Moonton Games has partnered with the popular anime Naruto for a special crossover event in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), now live. This event brings new skins, themed maps, and in-game rewards to players.
The crossover introduces five hero skins inspired by Naruto characters. Team 7 will be represented in MLBB, with Naruto Uzumaki as Lukas, Sasuke Uchiha as Suyou, Sakura Haruno as Kalea, and Kakashi Hatake as Hayabusa. Gaara will appear as Vale. Players can get the Gaara skin for free during the event, while the other skins will be available through a draw.
“Selecting which MLBB heroes would receive Naruto skins was no easy task; the entire process took many months of testing and refinement,” said Lyn Xi, Naruto Collaboration Lead at Moonton Games. “Each skin had to feel authentic, not only in appearance, but also in how it would complement the hero’s abilities, traits, and lore.”
Introducing new items
Xi noted that they also considered a variety of factors such as character synergies, fan expectations, and the gameplay experience.
The event also brings in new cosmetic items, including chat bubbles, emotes, and sacred statues. A new item called the Common Sacred Statue, based on Gamakichi, will be usable by all heroes. Naruto and Sasuke will also have special Loading Effects.
Players will see a Naruto-themed game interface and map during the event. Locations from the anime, such as Ichiraku Ramen and characters like Madara Uchiha, will appear in-game.
Fans can also join the MLBB Ninjutsu Academy and complete missions to win hero skins and other rewards.
