As a long-time Mobile Legends: Bang Bang enthusiast who’s been following this game since its early days, I can hardly contain my excitement over the news that MLBB is finally making its grand entry into China next year! With an impressive 109,000 reservations already under its belt and securing the #4 spot on the new games anticipation list, it’s evident that Chinese players are eagerly awaiting this much-loved MOBA title.

In January 2025, it’s confirmed that the widely-acclaimed Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game from MOONTON Games, known as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, will make its official debut in China. Interestingly, this title had a trial run, or open beta, last December 2023 in China.

As a passionate mobile gamer, I can’t help but feel proud to be part of the massive community that adores Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This game has been making waves on mobile platforms, earning it several accolades along the way. For the first time ever, it was even nominated for the prestigious “Best Esports Game” award at The Game Awards 2024, standing tall among heavyweights like Counter-Strike 2, DOTA 2, League of Legends, and Valorant. It’s an incredible feeling to be part of such a game that’s more than just a game—it’s a testament to the power of mobile gaming!

Next year, this much-awaited powerhouse MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas) game, known for its thrilling and beloved Mobile Legends experience, will debut in China. The precise launch date is still undisclosed, but it’s slated for January 2025.

The game finished its temporary removal trial on December 18, 2024. At present, you can pre-order the game on Haoyou Kuaibao, where it has already garnered over 109,000 reservations and ranked #4 among upcoming games in anticipation.

The Chinese version offers extra benefits, which are unavailable in the global version

I’d love to be Chinese as well, given that they have some fantastic perks announced for their players. In the first season, every hero and skin will be complimentary, and they can own these items permanently, whether it’s through direct acquisition or by participating in events and other means.

In the Chinese version, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) from the losing team doesn’t lose any stars in ranked matches, whereas the MVP from the winning team gains extra stars and potentially moves up to a higher stage. It would be great if this feature was included in the international version as well.

Additionally, you might not be aware that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is also incorporating China into its Esports framework. The Chinese esports arena will feature two qualifying rounds, modeled after the MPL tournaments, and the victorious team will secure a place to compete in both the MSC and the M7 World Championship.
