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.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
