Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Season 42 Marks the Game's Tenth Anniversary

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has entered Season 42 as Moonton continues the game's tenth-anniversary celebrations. The new Starward Decade season launched September 16 and combines competitive progression changes with one of the largest batches of character work in the game's recent history. Eight heroes receive revamps, while Masha gets a more extensive skill overhaul. Sanctum Island also receives a refreshed visual design.

The season follows anniversary events that began earlier in September, giving players access to free cosmetics, Epic Skin Chests, special effects and commemorative rewards. Maintaining momentum after ten years is a significant achievement in the intensely competitive mobile MOBA category, particularly as newer games continue trying to attract players in Southeast Asia and other core MLBB territories. Moonton's strategy has increasingly combined esports, regular hero balancing and large-scale seasonal events.

Season 42 effectively packages all three around the anniversary milestone, giving both returning players and established competitive users a reason to re-engage with the game.
