Mobile Legends: Bang Bang loves a good crossover, but this upcoming partnership might just take the entire arcade cake. Moonton is officially bringing the heavy hitters of Capcom’s legendary fighting franchise right into the Land of Dawn. If you have ever wanted to throw a Hadouken instead of your usual magic spells, your time has finally come.
The official launch is locked in for July 3, 2026. This gives you just enough time to double-check your diamond stash, stretch your thumbs, and figure out which lane is about to become your personal training ground.
The Legendary Roster and Their Perfect Pairs
Moonton did their homework when matching up these fighting icons with the current MLBB roster. We are getting four main collaboration skins that look incredibly smooth in motion.
First up, Paquito is stepping into the gi of Ryu. This match makes perfect sense considering they both live for the thrill of the fight and love throwing explosive punches. Next, Chou is taking on the role of Ken. Chou players already love showing off their flashy martial arts moves, so adding Ken’s fiery kicks to his kit is a match made in heaven.
For the mages and fighters who prefer a bit of grace with their violence, Guinevere is transforming into Chun-Li. Expect plenty of lightning-fast kicks flying across your screen. Finally, Dyrroth rounds out the squad as Guile, bringing some military discipline and sonic booms to the EXP lane.
Every single one of these skins features custom animations, voice lines, and unique skill effects that pay tribute to Street Fighter history. Even cooler, rumors are buzzing that alternate classic color palettes will be available, letting you rock the retro look if you prefer the old-school arcade vibes.
How to Secure Your Favorites Without Breaking the Bank
As you might expect from a major crossover event, the primary way to grab Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Guile will be through a limited-time draw event. You will need to spend Diamonds to pull for them, but Moonton is tossing a few lifelines to help casual spenders and free-to-play loyalists.
Log in during the event window to grab free draw tokens, which give you a handful of free shots at pulling your favorite fighter. There are also plenty of extra goodies up for grabs just for participating, including custom battle emotes, a themed spawn effect that mimics a fighting game ring entry, and exclusive profile banners.
Free Rewards for Showing Up
The best part of this July update is that you do not have to spend a single dime to walk away with something cool. Moonton is running a parallel event called the Shining Album from July 3 to August 3. By completing simple daily tasks, you can earn Holo Cards to complete an in-game collection.
Finishing the album rewards you with a completely free Special tier skin for Joy called Badlands Scrapper. The design is heavily inspired by gritty, post-apocalyptic fighting game arenas, making it the perfect companion piece to the main event. If you play your cards right and jump in during mid-July, you can even unlock a special green variant version of the skin through extra event shards.
Between the high-tier premium skins and the mountain of free loot, July is shaping up to be a massive month for the community. Pick your character, protect your towers, and get ready to fight.
