Mobile Legends: Bang Bang celebrates the New Year with the 'Festival of Friends' and a winter update
In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), a large-scale New Year series of gaming events has started — the 'Festival of Friends', a winter update, and special activities with Dima Maslennikov. Players can expect rewards for logging in, a new mode, a new hero, and a smart teammate search system that will help celebrate the holidays in an ideal team.
Collaboration with Dima Maslennikov
A distinct part of the New Year season is the collaboration with Dima Maslennikov, the official friend of MLBB. Unique rewards are available in the game: the emoji 'Is anyone here?' and a signature avatar frame. The event runs from November 22 to December 25. Rewards can be obtained for free by completing simple tasks — after the event ends, they will no longer be available.
As part of the collaboration, Dima Maslennikov will participate in a special stream, where he will play with fans and give away his own merchandise and gifts from MLBB. The stream will take place on December 19 at 18:00 MSK on YouTube, VK, and Twitch. Applications to participate in matches with the streamer are accepted through the Google form.
'Festival of Friends'
The event is already available in the game and rewards players from the first minutes: just open MLBB, and part of the rewards will immediately end up in the inventory. The main idea of the event is to unite players and make joint victories easier. As part of the festival, an integrated algorithm for finding teammates is launched, selecting an ally according to the player's playstyle — a kind of 'dating site for partners'. By gathering a team and completing tasks together, players can receive premium skins as rewards.
As the holidays approach, a new fast-paced mode 'Underwater Restaurant' has also appeared in MLBB. In it, players manage their own underwater establishment and prepare burgers according to a signature recipe. Each round lasts just one minute, and among the rewards is a chance to get exclusive collaboration skins.
New Hero
The winter update also brought a new hero — Sora, who changes the rules of combat. His unique mechanics allow players to switch between attacking and defensive styles, creating new tactics and opportunities in matches. Players will be able to unlock the hero's flexibility and try fresh strategies in their favorite MOBA.
