What’s Changing for MLBB Players with New Publisher in the US?
If you’re playing on Google Play, the current version of MLBB will be temporarily removed on March 27. But don’t worry—it’ll be back the same day under a new name: Mobile Legends: Bang Bang US. You’ll need to download this new version to continue playing, so make sure to bind your account in the current app before the transition to avoid any issues.
For iOS players, the process is a tad bit different. The team is working with Skystone to get the new version approved on the App Store as quickly as possible. There’s no exact date yet, but updates will be shared via in-game announcements, social media, and other official channels.
This is not the only big update for MLB fans. Read everything we know so far about the upcoming MLBB x Naruto collab.
What Does This Mean for You?
First off, if you already have MLBB installed, you can keep playing as usual. None of your in-game progress, data, and overall experience are getting affected. However, new downloads won’t be available during the transition period, not until the new version goes live.
It is really crucial that you bind your account in the current app. To ensure a smooth switch. Just tap your avatar in the main interface, go to Account Settings, and follow the steps. Not doing this will risk losing your progress when switching to the new app.
Once you log into Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US, you’ll be greeted with prompt for data transfer authorization. Accept it, and your account will be carried over seamlessly. Decline, and… well, you’ll have to start fresh.
