May 2025 is shaping up to be a wild month in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, packed with surprises, delays, and a ton of new skins and events. From collector skin shakeups to All-Star freebies and the highly anticipated Metro Zero event, here's everything you need to know.
If you guessed that Novaria the Dragon Worm would be May's collector skin, you'd be wrong—but not without reason. She was originally slated for this month, but the release was suddenly pulled without explanation. The likely reason? Many players felt the visuals and effects didn’t live up to collector-tier standards. Rumor has it that Moonton is reworking her effects to meet expectations.
Adding more fuel to the theory, Novaria has disappeared from the official MLBB May skin calendar, alongside the epic skin Liam the Nightmare Count, suggesting both have been postponed.
If you were excited about Novaria or Liam, don’t worry—they haven’t been scrapped, just delayed. Hang tight!
The All-Star event is bringing prehistoric power with a dinosaur theme—and the stars of the show? Popol and Kupa!
Even better, their All-Star skin will be completely FREE—no diamond top-ups required. Based on the concept art, this skin is anything but basic. Moonton has clearly invested effort despite the zero cost, making it feel exclusive and premium.
You’ll unlock this skin via a dice-roll event, similar to the 8th Anniversary celebration. Complete daily and weekly missions to earn dice, progress along the event board, and snag your rewards!
Jawhead: His All-Star skin will be available through a paid Diamond Pass.
Hero Unknown (possibly Helcurt?): The third All-Star skin remains a mystery for now, but early signs suggest it could be the event's main highlight.
Lolita is set to receive a special-tier idol-themed skin—vibrant, cheerful, and bursting with personality. While not quite on epic or collector level, it still offers unique flair. Three survey designs are being considered, each reflecting a different take on the idol aesthetic.
After years in the shadows, Khaled is finally getting his first Starlight skin! While the skin design hasn’t been revealed yet, this marks a big moment for the underrated desert warrior.
Chou: The second part of his skin survey is live with four bold concepts, possibly ranging from epic to collector.
Gatotkaca & Novaria: Both have M Championship-themed survey skins. With M7 approaching, there's a good chance one or both will be selected as exclusive pass skins.
The Season 37 skin reward goes to Faramis. Just rank up and play to claim it for free! There's also a painted version of the skin, which will likely be unlockable by hitting a certain rank.
May 2025 might not be delivering everything as originally planned, but there's still a lot to get excited about in Mobile Legends. From free All-Star skins and thrilling surveys to revamped events and long-awaited releases, this month is full of promise.
So whether you're rolling dice for Popol and Kupa, waiting on Novaria, or eyeing that Starlight Khaled skin—stay tuned, stay sharp, and get ready to flex those new looks in style.
