MLBB 9th Anniversary Event Schedule and Theme
The MLBB 9th anniversary celebrations begin on October 9, 2025, and will likely run until late October or early November. You can expect themed missions, login bonuses, and special challenges throughout the month. This year's highlight is an "idol group" theme, where heroes like Lolita appear as a dedicated fan supporting a team of performers for your MLBB tier list. The event also ties into Release The Aspirants 4.0, featuring Guin and Vex, giving you even more ways to progress.
Once the event starts, log in and check the anniversary tab in the Events menu. There is no need for pre-registration this time. Just make sure you turn on notifications so you do not miss time-limited quests or rewards.
Main Events and How to Join
There are several main events that play a key part in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang 9th anniversary event. So, if you want to know how to join them, here is how:
Shining Album Revival
This is a returning questline that is built around collecting "album pieces." You earn these by completing daily tasks such as winning matches, playing with specific heroes, or even posting fan art. As you collect pieces, you unlock tiered rewards, with the final prize possibly being one of the new skins.
Participation in this event can be done with these steps:
-
Start by going to Events > Anniversary > Shining Album.
-
Complete daily goals like three ranked matches or hero-specific challenges, such as assists with Lolita.
-
Runs until around October 23.
Login Streak Rewards
Logging in daily from October 9 gives you stacked bonuses like battle points, fragments, and tickets for skin draws. If you miss a day, you can catch up once using diamonds.
Squad Challenges and Idol Stage Mode
A new 5v5 casual mode called Idol Stage comes with special buffs, such as extra gold for your squad heroes, for this anniversary event. Completing team-based quests like scoring ten kills with Fanny unlocks shared loot crates for the whole group.
What you can do here is:
-
Invite friends directly from your in-game list.
-
Cross-region squads are allowed, so you can team up with more players.
Exclusive Skins and Rewards
The highlight of the MLBB 9th anniversary is its rewards. A fresh skin squad embodying an idol ensemble: Lolita (fan role), Fanny, Cici, and Zhuxin as performers. These elite-tier cosmetics feature dynamic effects like stage lights on recalls and harmony-themed skills.
