Light Motiram accused of copying Horizon

Every now and then we see games come out that are new IPs and therefore have the potential to become sagas/franchises if they are successful and there are more releases. With so many failures and canceled projects, it’s difficult, but even so we find some relatively new video game franchises like Horizon. Seeing that it was quite successful, just like the second part, we now see that the Chinese giant
Tencent

was accused of copy the design and world of Horizon with Light of Motiram.

Guerrilla Games was known for its Killzone series of first-person shooters. The first of these games arrived on the PlayStation 2 in 2004 and set the bar very high, although the truly shocking thing happened later. 2009 with Killzone 2 for PlayStation 3.. This game was a revolution at the time, especially on a graphical level, surpassing anything that had been released so far, at least in this genre. The whole thing felt cinematic, not only because of the realism, but also because it was only 30 frames per second and all the post-processing effects. Killzone 3 is also out on PS3but it was no longer so successful and Affected Area: Fall of Shadows For PS4 in 2013, the saga stopped receiving games.

They accuse Light of Motiram of copying the Sony Horizon series of games.

Guerrilla Games wanted to make changes and a new IP appeared that will be released along with the game. Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017. We saw this recently because
Complete Edition increased in price to 39.99 euros after Sony announced a remaster of the game. The remaster of this game introduced a number of graphical improvements that made it more interesting, but it didn’t go to the point of being a remake where you could say it was just another different game or had much better graphics.

If we now compare this game with the Light of Motiram trailer and images, we can see that they were clearly inspired by Horizon, to the point where they accused Tencent of “copying” Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. We can see the similarities by watching a bit of the trailer as here we see robotic animals and beasts with a design that immediately reminds us of Horizon. It should also be taken into account that they are located in a human civilization that seems almost extinctwhere the flora has grown greatly.

This game is different in that it is an open world multiplayer game with crafting, combat and survival.

The main character of Light of Motiram is a girl armed with a bow and arrow. Additionally, we see a similar artistic style in the setting and clothing used. The developer is POLARIS QUEST, a subsidiary of Tencent based in Shanghai And we already have the latest information about the game because it is on Steam. Looking at the page, we see that indeed, human civilization has practically disappeared, mechanical animals have taken over everything and we will have to survive. This is where we see the main difference from Horizon, as the Light of Motiram is described as
open world multiplayer survival game

.

In this case, we will have to collect resources by fishing, mining or cutting down trees. We will be able to build bases and shelters of various designs with realistic physical simulation. This will also be possible
tame “mechanical animals”something that will undoubtedly remind us of Palworld and along the way we mention
a complaint that Nintendo filed against them for resembling Pokemon. The combat is also different and we see that in demonstrations they appear with different melee weapons and mounts will help us.
