Moba Legends: 5v5, a new game in the world of esports in India has ignited hopes for the return of the ever-popular MOBA title Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). The game is published by Vizta Games, and offers a similar experience to MLBB, despite the fact that there is no mention of his original game or developer. The MLBB was developed by MOONTON GAMES. Moba Legends: 5v5 was released on April 24, 2024, and has created a buzz among Indian gamers. 

The sole reason behind its popularity is its similarity to MLBB. Though its indication on the Play Store indicates its connection to the MOBA title, downloading it reveals the presence of the MLBB logo and name, which suggests a rebranding strategy. The game is available on Play Store, and it can be downloaded easily and hassle-free. 

After the game’s launch, several rumours have arisen regarding it being a localised version that was tailored specifically for the Indian market. The game has some in-game texts appearing in Hindi, which caters to specific markets in India. 

The Moba Legends: 5v5 came after the 2020 ban imposed by India’s Ministry of Electronics on Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, citing concerns over data privacy. With the new game’s release, industry enthusiasts are eager to see if it would mark the comeback of India’s gaming landscape.
