The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Malaysia continues to redefine esports entertainment with its latest blockbuster crossover — Predator: Badlands, a Hollywood sci-fi action film from the iconic Predator franchise.
This collaboration marks another milestone for MPL Malaysia, merging cinematic storytelling with the competitive world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB).
The crossover will see the Predator universe collide with the Land of Dawn, offering fans a one-of-a-kind experience across official live broadcasts, social platforms, and even an exclusive fan screening of the film.
Predator: Badlands — A Hollywood Crossover Like Never Before
Set in the distant future on a treacherous alien planet, Predator: Badlands tells the story of a young Predator outcast who forms an unexpected alliance in his quest for the ultimate adversary.
The movie, now showing in Malaysian cinemas, perfectly mirrors the intensity, teamwork, and thrill that define MLBB battles.
Krystal Tan, Head of Business Development for Malaysia Esports at MOONTON Games, expressed that this crossover reflects how far esports has come as a cultural phenomenon.
“This is our second Disney franchise collaboration this season after TRON: Ares. It’s proof that MPL Malaysia and esports have evolved into major entertainment movements that resonate deeply with today’s youth,” .
Tan also hinted at an enhanced franchised format for the next MPL season, signaling MOONTON’s ambition to take Malaysian esports to new heights.
“We’re moving beyond competition. MPL Malaysia is now shaping up to be the number one sports entertainment product for young Malaysians.”
