MLBB Project NEXT update: New maps

Four new maps are arriving in the game in the next update: Dangerous Grass, Broken Walls, Flying Clouds, and Expanding River.

• Dangerous Grass: It has tall bushes spread all around the map, and this is the perfect map for assassins like Saber, Lancelot, and Eudora.
• Broken Walls: The walls will be broken in this map, and new shortcuts will be created. Chasing down a retreating target will be easier now.
• Flying Clouds: In this map, the player's response time will be enhanced by taking them straight into the battlefield. A lot of comebacks might happen on this map.
• Expanding River: The water from the river area will overflow into the side lanes, providing mobility for heroes into that area. It will be easier for the side lane heroes to join the allies instantly, every time a teamfight breaks out.
