Tencent studio’s new game looks a lot like Horizon Zero Dawn

Tencent has announced its latest game, Light of Motiram, promising an open-world with survival gameplay and “animal like” creatures. The issue? It looks an awful lot like Horizon Zero Dawn. 

Tencent subsidiary studio, Polaris Quest, has created its own game, clearly heavily inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn. As you can see in the comparison between the images for both games below:

Aside from the bow and arrow equipped main character and mechanical animals running around, it also has building mechanics and co-op, making it a multiplayer-focused game, versus the cinematic-campaign focus of the Horizon games.

This isn't the first time we've seen a Tencent game release with similarities to another popular IP. There are plenty of League of Legends clones, for example.

KitGuru Says: This game sneaking out ahead of Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer Horizon game is sure to not go unnoticed. So far though, Sony and Tencent have not commented on the comparisons between these two games.
