It's an Official release without any Official Announcement
Here's a little link between Vizta and Moonton: the developer branch of Moonton was acquired by Vizta Ltd. In 2020, probably the same year when it was banned.
This game seems legit, except for the loading screen, everything is identical. And the biggest upgrade is that now i can use my Play Reward Money to buy diamonds.
So should you start playing right away? Well I'll say wait. Moonton will make an official announcement soon enough, untill then make a smurf and play on that one.
Complete account migration is possible since the server is exactly the same as Global version of MLBB, you'll get Cross Server matches, a lot of noobs and yeah you'll lose just like before. With that have fun.
(PoV: I'll make a video explaining things, probably tomorrow or the day after. So for the time being you can give a Sub to my Channel, or not it's your choice.)
