"Will Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Return to India? Players Await an Esports Comeback!"

 

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.

Indian esports organizations have also started hosting unofficial MLBB tournaments, such as the Moba Legends: 5v5! North East Cup 2024, providing opportunities for local players to compete at a high level. The tournament saw massive participation, with the finals held in Guwahati.

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.
