Previous anime collabs for the wildly popular MOBA have included Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen, so many fans felt it was just a matter of time before Naruto joined the fold. Lyn Xi, the lead on this collaboration, explained why Moonton and fans are so excited about this event.
“For over two decades, NARUTO has inspired generations with its themes of perseverance, friendship, and chasing one's dreams. Many of us grew up with NARUTO, so this collaboration is a deeply personal one. We are honored to bring the ninja spirit to the Land of Dawn and celebrate NARUTO’s enduring legacy with our community.”
Moonton didn't give any specific details, but previous events have included skins, in-game rewards, and limited-time events, so I'd expect the same kind of things here. Leaks have speculated that we're getting skins for these heroes:
Gusion "Minato"
Hayabusa "Kakashi"
Kalea "Sakura"
Lukas "Naruto"
Suyou "Sasuke"
Julian "Itachi"
Valir "Gaara"
So far, those are only leaks and speculation, but it will be interesting to see if any of that is true. With a collab as hotly anticpated as this one, it's usually pretty hard to keep anything under wraps.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was one of the games unfortunately caught up in TikTok's ongoing conflict with the the US government, but that was quickly resolved. It was merely a blip for what has been one of the most successful mobile offerings on the market today.
