Will Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Follow the Trend of Collaboration with Popular Anime?

Regardless of whether you are an active gamer on the mobile platform or not, the name Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is definitely familiar. This MOBA game, which is global and brings a major evolution to the esports industry on mobile, cannot be separated from its appeal. Although there are various games that try to compete with him, his name still holds strong as a MOBA game with the largest player base on mobile. Although it never fails to bring new enthusiasm, Mobile Legends unfortunately has not caught up with the trend of collaboration with popular anime.

As you know, anime collaboration events are an increasingly widespread trend in the mobile game market, where there are many games that are starting to attract Japanese studios and companies that own anime licenses to collaborate with them. For example, within the past month, we have received announcements of major collaborations such as Onmyoji with Demon Slayer, Free Fire with Attack on Titan, Identity V with The Promised Neverland, until today, LifeAfter with Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 was announced.

Many developers see the great potential of collaborating with anime, let alone seeing how events like this can attract more new fans. It’s just that as one of the most popular mobile games today, MLBB hasn’t really officially prepared a collaboration with any anime. Of course there have been a lot of rumors that have spread widely over the last few months, but please note that Moonton has not provided any confirmation.

Instead of just hanging on to rumors, in this article we have compiled a list of anime that might collaborate with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This time, we have compiled the list of anime names that have previously appeared in a special survey created by Moonton. Curious about anything? see the complete list below.

Bleach

Rumors about the presence of a collaboration between MLBB and Bleach have emerged since the beginning of last year. At that time Moonton gave an in-game survey about “Anime Bleach”. Of course this immediately caught the attention of fans because Moonton really only dedicated his survey to Bleach, so predictions about a new collaboration event were no longer just false hopes. It’s just that until now there has been no development of any news, and fans are even confused by the emergence of rumors of other anime collaborations.

We think the collaboration event with Bleach is a very well-targeted decision. We have even seen an example where the anime has received a collaboration with the MOBA game Onmyoji Arena. This can also be a special opportunity to promote Bleach to more fans, especially considering that the last arc of the manga will get a new anime adaptation.

Demon Slayer

Late last year the MLBB community was also buzzing with rumors of a Demon Slayer collaboration. The shonen anime that is on the rise especially after the screening of its latest film will definitely be a big target to collaborate with. So it’s not surprising for us that Moonton wants to collaborate with Demon Slayer. This rumor does not have a completely clear source, especially since Moonton, represented by Agnes Agastia as Branding and Public Relations, said that he had not heard of any plans for the collaboration.

Rumors or not, of course the idea of collaborating with Demon Slayer is a pretty big project. Moonton will probably get more reception and success than all previous collaborations if this idea can be realized.

The last three anime that we have included in this list were included in another recent survey that Moonton made some time ago.

One-Punch Man

In their survey they included three anime titles, one of which was One-Punch Man. Another mobile game that happened to have a similar collaboration and managed to attract the attention of gamers is Free Fire. The collaboration, which featured costumes and a variety of special collaboration content, brought great success.

For MLBB which is a MOBA game with a myriad of unique hero characters, the presence of Saitama, Genos or other OPM heroes into the game will definitely be very interesting. It’s just that it would be hard to imagine how Saitama was presented as a playable character. Unless his ability to finish off the enemy in one hit can be eliminated.

Fairy Tail

The next anime included in Moonton’s survey is Fairy Tail. The anime series is already finished, so there is a lot of material for collaboration content. One of them may be the presence of Natsu’s skin in Fire Dragon King mode or Zeref in Fairy Heart-Induced mode. Of course, this is just an idea, because if you have to choose an anime to collaborate with, you find it difficult to imagine Fairy Tail being the more chosen choice.

Fullmetal Alchemist

The last anime that was included in Moonton’s survey list was Fullmetal Alchemist. From here we think maybe Moonton only lists popular anime names randomly in its survey. Because even though it is very popular, Fullmetal Alchemist is a classic anime that no longer gets a new series. Most collaboration events are usually prioritized for popular series that still have new projects, especially if the parties concerned also want to promote the anime.

Incidentally, Moonton also included the “None of the above” option in their survey. So fans can choose another anime that they feel is more suitable to collaborate with MLBB. But of course, we will never know their plans behind the scenes and there is a possibility that the game will actually collaborate with Fullmetal Alchemist in the future.

Well, that’s the list of anime that we think have the opportunity to collaborate with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Regarding whether MLBB can collaborate with anime or not, what is clear is that we can only be patient while waiting for the official announcement.
