The battlefield of the Land of Dawn has been forever transformed. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) officially rolls out its highly anticipated Project NEXT 2025 update, featuring the Annual Map Change, a revamped Achievement System, multiple hero reworks, and the debut of a brand-new marksman hero: Obsidia, Sovereign of Dark’s End.
This update, dubbed the most impactful in-game overhaul of the year, challenges players with fresh mechanics and visuals designed to push strategy, coordination, and skill mastery to new heights.
Annual Map Change Brings Four New Battlegrounds
Project NEXT 2025 introduces four new battlefield variations that will redefine gameplay. These fresh maps will be randomly selected during the hero draft phase, forcing teams to adapt their strategies based on terrain and objectives. The new maps include:
- Broken Walls – a fortress-style arena with fragmented terrain
- Dangerous Grass – where ambushes thrive in shadowy overgrowth
- Flying Cloud – a dynamic battlefield set against soaring skies
- Expanding Rivers – shifting waterways that demand adaptive movement
The Annual Map Change ensures every match feels different, adding unpredictability and depth to team compositions and tactical choices.
Meet Obsidia: Sovereign of Dark’s End
Season 38 unveils Obsidia, the newest addition to the marksman roster. Emerging from the Abyss as a relentless hunter, Obsidia wields Bone Energy that transforms into Bone Shards, which she unleashes with each attack. The longer her enemies face her, the deadlier her assaults become.
Her Ultimate, Hunt of Bone, tethers her to her target, locking her within range and ensuring devastating barrages of Bone Shards. This relentless pursuit cements her role as one of MLBB’s most punishing late-game threats.
Abyss Revamp: Alice, Dyrroth, and Thamuz Return Stronger
The Abyss has been reshaped into a hostile realm of shattered landscapes, jagged ruins, and brutal survival. To reflect this transformation, three of its iconic heroes—Alice, Dyrroth, and Thamuz—have received reworks, both in design and gameplay.
Their revamped abilities and visuals align with the darker, harsher world they inhabit, setting the stage for epic clashes against Obsidia and the rest of the MLBB roster.
New Achievement System: Wall of Honor Unlocked
Players can now track and showcase their mastery like never before with the revamped Achievement System. Featuring new career milestones and multiple tiers, the system rewards diverse playstyles and performance levels.
The Wall of Honor adds a dedicated display for players to proudly show off their achievements, giving veterans and rising stars alike a chance to flex their MLBB journey.
Community-Driven Improvements
Based on player feedback, Project NEXT 2025 introduces several quality-of-life upgrades, including:
- Enhanced “Red-flash” combat visuals for better hit detection
- Clearer control effect indicators for stun, silence, and other statuses
- Streamlined control settings interface for easy configuration
- Exclusive World Collector name color for collectors to stand out
