Mobile Legends recently decided to postpone their latest 1.6.42 update, which was scheduled to be released on December 20.

A recent Twitter post says that the developers found an issue that seriously affects the in-match experience. To ensure your gaming experience, Mobile Legends made a tough decision to postpone the release of Patch 1.6.42 until the issue is fixed. On the bright side, players will receive compensation gifts once the update rolls out.

The New Events Dates 

• Comet Collision/MLBB X Star Wars: December 22
• Phylax Exchange: 3 Jan. 2021
• Edith’s Training: 4 Jan 2021
• Release of Hero Edith: Until Patch 1.6.42 is released.
