Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) developer MOONTON Games announced on Thursday (14 September) that the game's seventh anniversary event will kick off next on 30 September.

The anniversary event will feature exclusive rewards such as an Anniversary skin for Johnson and the release of a new hero, Nolan.

MLBB's seventh-year anniversary event will be part of the game's Project NEXT campaign, which rolls out features and updates to enhance gameplay and player experience.

Aside from the game's seventh-year anniversary event, MLBB players are also being treated to a revamped user interface (UI) menu as well as ability and graphics reworks for multiple heroes this month.

Players can get the party started early in the pre-registration anniversary celebrations next Tuesday (19 September) to earn rewards.

Pre-registering for the anniversary in advance nets players up to x2 Small Emblem Packs and a 7th Anniversary Emote Trial Card after sharing the event three times through social media platforms.

From 30 September to 15 October, players can then participate in in-game events like 'To The Stars!' and 'Party On, Dreamers' to earn exclusive rewards.

The 'To The Stars!' will be a mini-game where players must lead the hero Johnson in his vehicle mode to the finishing point by completing and deciphering a series of puzzles, with 28 stages divided into four chapters.

A new chapter will be unlocked from 4 to 7 October, and players need to garner anniversary coin rewards from the challenge to claim the 2023 anniversary rewards.

The 2023 anniversary rewards include:

  • 2023 Anniversary Johnson skin

  • 7th Anniversary Avatar Border

  • Event-exclusive Kill Notification

  • Event-exclusive Emotes

  • One permanent hero (out of five options)

  • 2022 Special Harley skin

Aside from the aforementioned event, MLBB will also be celebrating its seven-year anniversary with the release of a new hero: Nolan.

While MOONTON has yet to reveal when exactly Nolan will be released, they have already provided previews of the upcoming hero's abilities and lore.

Nolan is one of the premier scientists of Eruditio and is the father of the hero Layla.

After an experiment with multiverse portals goes awry, Nolan disappeared for 16 years but has now returned to Eruditio — much to Layla's shock and horror.

In MLBB, Nolan is an Assassin-type hero with strong area-of-effect abilities. Here's what his kit will look like (note: not finalised and is subject to change):

Skill 1 - Expansion

  • Nolan cuts a rectangular area in front of him, dealing Physical Damage and leaving a rift at the first enemy hit.

Skill 2 - Gauge

  • Nolan charges in the target direction and performs a slash, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in his path and leaving a rift.

Ultimate - Fracture

  • Nolan removes all debuffs on himself and slashes the target location 3 times, dealing Physical Damage with each slash while leaving 3 rifts. The rifts will explode automatically while Nolan dashes backward.

Passive - Dimensional Rift

  • Nolan's skills can cut through dimensional planes, leaving a rift that slows enemies. When a rift comes into contact with another one, it will activate and pull enemies to its center and explode to deal Physical Damage after a short delay. Each time a rift explosion hits an enemy hero or Creep, Nolan gains Energy. If Nolan does not deal or take damage from non-Minion or non-Creep units for a period of time, he enhances his next Basic Attack to dash to the target, dealing Physical Damage and creating a rift.
