‘Light of Motiram’ Announced: A Horizon Zero Dawn-Inspired Open-World Adventure for PC
Polaris Quest, a Tencent subsidiary, has unveiled Light of Motiram, an open-world game that bears a striking resemblance to Horizon Zero Dawn. With a redheaded protagonist, lush post-civilization environments, and mechanized animal-like creatures, the game is already drawing comparisons—and raising eyebrows.
While the similarities to Horizon Zero Dawn are undeniable, Light of Motiram introduces its own mechanics:
Survival and Building Mechanics:
Players must navigate an unforgiving mechanical wilderness by crafting shelters and fortifications using a realistic physics-based building system. Structures are influenced by real-world physics, adding a strategic element to construction.Mechanimal Taming and Training:
The game boasts over 100 customizable Mechanimals to tame and train, offering a deeper connection to these creatures than Horizon Zero Dawn.Multiplayer Support:
Light of Motiram features seamless co-op gameplay for up to 10 players, with cross-play compatibility.Boss Battles and Environmental Challenges:
Players will face off against formidable bosses, tackle extreme weather conditions, and navigate primal cultures that emerged after civilization’s collapse.

Will Sony Take Legal Action?

However, the inclusion of survival, building, and multiplayer elements might provide enough distinction to avoid direct conflict.
Is anyone else hoping for multiplayer? The potential for co-op adventures is thrilling!
