Mobile Legends: Bang Bang x NARUTO is the ultimate collaboration with the game’s largest-ever content drop!
The special crossover, Mobile Legends Bang Bang x Naruto event launches on 2 May with five exclusive hero skins; a limited-time map and game interface; and plenty of rewards and Easter eggs.
MOONTON Games announced that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) x NARUTO will feature the mobile Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game’s biggest content drop in history. Available in MLBB from 2 May 2025, the landmark collaboration will bring one of the most celebrated anime series into the Land of Dawn in the form of exclusive hero skins, a limited-time map and game interface, and plenty of rewards and Easter eggs.
Five Crossover Skins Revealed, Including Hidden Leaf Village’s Iconic Team 7
The special crossover event will introduce five special collaboration skins, offering players the opportunity to become the Land of Dawn’s strongest ninja while playing as their favourite NARUTO characters. The crossover skins include the Hidden Leaf Village’s iconic Team 7—Naruto Uzumaki (as Lukas), Sasuke Uchiha (as Suyou), Sakura Haruno (as Kalea), and Kakashi Hatake (as Hayabusa)—as well as fan-favourite, Gaara (as Vale).
Players will be able to claim the Vale “Gaara” skin for free by participating in the event; the rest of Team 7 will be available from the draw event.
Lyn Xi, NARUTO Collaboration Lead at MOONTON Games, said: “Selecting which MLBB heroes would receive NARUTO skins was no easy task; the entire process took many months of testing and refinement. Each skin had to feel authentic, not only in appearance, but also how it would complement the hero’s abilities, traits, and lore. As such, we made sure to consider a variety of factors such as character synergies, fan expectations, and the gameplay experience. We’re confident that the result offers an exciting fusion of two beloved universes that will please both MLBB and NARUTO fans alike!”
The hero skins will be accompanied by a host of themed cosmetic items such as chat bubbles, sacred statues, battle emotes, and more.
New Item Types: Common Sacred Statue & Loading Effect
The collaboration event will introduce a two new in-game item types, the Common Sacred Statue and the Loading Effect.
MLBB’s first Common Sacred Statue will be for Gamakichi, Naruto’s sentient toad summon, and will be available via the draw event. The Common Sacred Statue and Sacred Statue both allow players to replace an allied turret’s appearance during a match. However, Sacred Statues can only be deployed by specific heroes, while the Common Sacred Statue can be deployed by all heroes.
Naruto and Sasuke will each have a unique Loading Effect, available via the draw event. A Loading Effect replaces the background in the pre-match character display for both teams.
NARUTO Takes Over The Land Of Dawn
Players may think that MLBB has executed its own Transformation Jutsu upon first experiencing the collaboration event; from 2 May, they will be greeted by a NARUTO-themed, limited-time game interface immediately upon logging into the game.
The event period will also see the launch of a limited-time map filled with Easter eggs. Many will be immediately obvious, such as the placement of Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto Uzumaki’s favourite dining establishment, in the side lane, as well as the Elemental Lord being replaced by NARUTO antagonist, Madara Uchiha. Others will be carefully hidden—in true ninja fashion—and waiting for players to discover.
Join The MLBB Ninjutsu Academy!
Players can win an iPhone 16 Pro, hero skins, and other exciting in-game rewards by joining the MLBB Ninjutsu Academy. The Academy will give players Ninjutsu Skill Scrolls in exchange for completing missions such as sharing the event. These Scrolls can later be used to participate in a sure-win draw.
