Mobile Legends: Bang Bang just entered its busiest stretch of the year. Hanzo picked up his first-ever Starlight skin on September 1, the 10th anniversary celebration kicked off September 4 with free collector rewards, and Ranked Season 42 — "Starward Decade" — launches September 16 with eight revamped heroes. If you want your phone or PC to match the moment, here's what's actually new, and exactly where to get the official art.
Three things are converging this September that make it a genuinely good time to refresh your wallpaper. Hanzo's "Fangs of Slaughter" gave the assassin his first-ever Starlight-tier skin — a red-and-black demonic ninja redesign with a larger Kage Nishi blade and a darker Demon Pneuma form, unlockable through the September Starlight Pass. The 10th Anniversary Celebration Pass is running from September 4 to November 1, handing out a free Nana Epic skin and a run of anniversary rewards. And Ranked Season 42, "Starward Decade," launches September 16 with eight revamped heroes including Masha, Clint, and Badang — which usually means a wave of new splash art and loading screens alongside the reset.
Hanzo "Fangs of Slaughter" is the headline: the red-and-black color scheme and silvery-white hair make it one of the more striking assassin redesigns MLBB has shipped, with a second painted variant, "Fangs of Frenzy," available separately for 100 Diamonds. The 10th anniversary art tends to be some of the most detailed Moonton produces all year, and this round includes a free Nana Epic skin as part of the Celebration Pass. Season 42's eight hero reworks — Masha, Clint, and Badang among them — bring fresh model and effect updates worth watching for once the season goes live. And if you're not chasing the newest release, evergreen picks like Gusion, Chou, and Lesley stay in steady demand year-round.
The highest-quality source for any of this is Mobile Legends itself: open a hero or skin's profile screen in-game, and MLBB lets you save the official splash art directly from there — that's the actual full-resolution art Moonton ships, not a screenshot or a re-compressed copy. Moonton also regularly posts official key art on their social channels, and their official site covers major events like the 10th anniversary in detail. We're linking out to the source below rather than hosting copies ourselves, since this is Moonton's artwork, not ours.
For phones, look for portrait images at 1080×2340 or higher — most official MLBB art is high-res enough to cover modern tall screens without stretching. For desktop, 1920×1080 or 2560×1440 works best, and widescreen splash art usually shows more of the background scene than the cropped in-game version. Avoid anything under 720p on the short side; it'll look soft on any current-generation display.
Save the image at its native resolution rather than a stretched or cropped copy. On Android, long-press the home screen, choose Wallpapers, then select it from your gallery. On iPhone, go to Settings, then Wallpaper, then Add New Wallpaper. If you want your lock screen and home screen to feel distinct, it's worth picking two different pieces of art rather than reusing one for both.

New season, new skin, new anniversary art — if your in-game name hasn't kept up, the Mobile Legends Name Generator builds a fresh one in a tap, and our guide on Southeast Asian naming culture goes deeper into why symbol-styled names are so common on ML scoreboards specifically.
September 1, 2026, MLBB server time, as the Exclusive Starlight skin for the September pass.
September 16, 2026. It's titled "Starward Decade" and reworks eight heroes, including Masha, Clint, and Badang, as part of the 10th anniversary content.
The Celebration Pass includes a free Nana Epic skin and other anniversary rewards. Some higher-tier anniversary content is paid, same as a normal event pass.
Not from here — we link out to Moonton's own channels and MLBB's in-game Gallery instead, since the splash art belongs to Moonton and the in-game version is the actual full-resolution source.
