Horizon Rip-Off Light of Motiram Will Actually Come to PS5 | Push Square

Just a day after its initial announcement, Tencent has revealed its Horizon rip-off game Light of Motiram will also come to PS5, as well as mobile phones. PlayStation even appears happy to support the copycat with its Chinese accounts on Weibo and Bilibili promoting the trailer and even teasing «more cooperation» with the game in the future.

Alongside today's news, a longer, seven-minute reveal trailer has been posted online, which further demonstrates just how closely the aesthetic, visuals, and overall direction mimic Horizon. You can catch it above. With a familiar robotic companion by your side, you could even call it Horizon meets Destiny now. The combat again looks more like Monster Hunter than anything else, and the base building and «Mechanimal» taming are also shown off some more.

Here's an extra 16 minutes of gameplay footage:

Will you bother playing Light of Motiram on PS5? Let us know in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Of course they are happy to support it, it’s quite derivative in some areas but really who cares. If it’s good it’s good. If it’s not, then people will care even less.

I don't mind that it's basic concept is similar to Horizon. What rubs me the wrong way is just how far they went to make sure it looks as close to Horizon as possible. Like you can make a tribal robot animal hunting game without it looking so similar to Horizon. Come on.

I mean, money is money at the end of the day.

These guys should have called their game “Dawn: Horizon Zero” and been done with it! It certainly couldn’t look anymore like Guerillas game!
