Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), a popular mobile MOBA game, has been banned in India since June 29, 2020, due to government restrictions on Chinese apps. However, Indian esports enthusiasts are still hopeful for its return, especially with the growing demand for competitive gaming in the country.
Despite the ban, players have found an alternative in Moba Legends: 5v5!, a rebranded version of MLBB available on the Play Store in India. This version allows players to experience similar gameplay and continue their passion for mobile esports.
However, an official return of MLBB to India remains uncertain. Moonton, the game's developer, has yet to announce any plans for negotiations with Indian authorities. Until then, Indian MLBB fans continue to participate in unofficial events while waiting for an official revival.
