Mobile Legends developer Moonton Games has officially announced the upcoming release of collaboration skins for its much-anticipated Naruto crossover, launching on 2 May.

The globally beloved anime is arriving in the Land of Dawn with time-limited skins, sacred statues, and a host of themed cosmetics.

“Selecting which MLBB heroes would receive NARUTO skins was no easy task; the entire process took many months of testing and refinement," said Lyn Xi, Naruto collaboration lead at Moonton.

"Each skin had to feel authentic, not only in appearance, but also in how it would complement the hero’s abilities, traits, and lore."

The crossover event will introduce five collaboration skins: Naruto as Lukas, Sasuke as Suyou, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi as Hayabusa, and Gaara as Vale (which players can claim for free).

In addition to hero skins, the event will feature Naruto-themed cosmetic items such as chat bubbles, sacred statues, battle emotes, and more.
