Light of Motiram lijkt regelrechte kopie van Horizon franchise te zijn

De Horizon franchise van Guerrilla Games heeft duidelijk voor inspiratie gediend als we kijken naar Light of Motiram. Deze game is vandaag aangekondigd door ontwikkelaar Polaris Quest, wat onderdeel is van Tencent Games.

Het betreft hier een open wereld survival crafting game, waarbij de speler te maken krijgt met mechanische dieren die wel heel veel weg hebben van de machines die we kennen uit de Horizon franchise.

Sterker nog, zelfs het artwork heeft sterke overeenkomsten. Of Sony actie gaat ondernemen is afwachten. Hieronder de trailer en daaronder een uitgebreide omschrijving van de game.

In a world overrun by colossal machines, explore the vast open world, build your base of operations, advance technology, train Mechanimals, and take on formidable bosses. Starting from the primitive age, forge a new path of development. Defy the machination, survive with mechanimals.

A Mechanimal-Ruled Open World
Earth and human civilization as we once knew it are gone. Across untamed wilderness, giant mechanical beasts roam freely, while humanity struggles to rebuild from the dawn of a new primitive era. Journey from lush tropical rainforests to barren desert landscapes and snow-capped mountain peaks—as you discover unique Mechanimals and mysterious ruins in different regions, gradually uncovering the secrets of MOTIRAM.

Survive in the Wilderness
In this mechanical wilderness where civilization is a distant memory, primal cultures, extreme weather, and lurking Mechanimals will constantly test your survival skills. Make smart use of everything around you to stay alive and face off against formidable bosses, every step is fraught with danger and requires courage. Only by overcoming the challenges of survival can you carve out a place for yourself in this unforgiving land.
