'Light of Motiram' is an open-world survival game that will be distributed on Steam and the Epic Games Store , and its genres are 'action adventure,' 'open world,' and 'survival.' The release date has not been decided yet, but it is likely to be both an 'MMO' and a 'cross-platform' game.
The official game description for Light of Motiram is as follows:
An open world where mecha roam
The original Earth and human civilization no longer exist. In a wilderness roamed by machines, humans must start from scratch to develop a new world.
Explore grasslands, deserts, forests and mountains - lush rainforests, barren desert borders and snow-capped mountain peaks - discover mechs and mysterious ruins in a variety of regions and unravel the mysteries of MOTIRAM.
Wilderness Survival
In the post-civilization mech wilderness, you must survive by using all the resources you have rationally, facing primitive civilizations, ever-changing climates, dangerous mechs, and more. From securing a base for life to challenging bosses, every step is accompanied by danger and courage. You will not be able to gain a foothold in this wilderness unless you overcome repeated difficulties.
Build a house based on the laws of physics
Realize free construction function based on a real physics engine. Whether you're building an impregnable fortress or a cozy dwelling, every pillar and brick is based on the laws of physics, making it visually stunning and able to adapt to environmental challenges. Unleash your creativity and explore the infinite possibilities of construction.
Use your fighting techniques to challenge the mecha
Evade, block, counter, and execute every move with precision. With life and death hanging by a thread, master your combat skills, slip through enemy attacks, avoid fatal injuries, and wait for an opportunity to strike back. Of course, don't forget to work with your mech partner - choosing the right partner can give you an advantage in battle.
Accompanying the Mechas
You can tame and develop over 100 types of customizable mechas. Each mecha has its own unique skills and potential, such as combat support and improved production, and by customizing it, you can exhibit unique combat methods and production characteristics, making it your powerful partner.
Explore the world collaboratively across multiple platforms
Multiplayer with up to 10 players is possible. Face danger together. You can embark on an adventure with your friends anytime, anywhere in the world. Enjoy the charm of the game. Fight, gather, build... there's never a shortage of things to do!

Regarding 'Light of Motiram,' overseas game media Kotaku said, 'As Nintendo moves forward with its lawsuit against Palworld for copying Pokemon game design, Tencent has released Light of Motiram, which is eerily similar to Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn. This makes a new lawsuit seem inevitable. To be clear, this is not a 'this reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn' level, but rather a 'what the hell are you thinking, this is ridiculous!' level. Light of Motiram is a rare case in which you can safely type the words 'total rip-off' without worrying about a letter from a lawyer.'
'The way they copied Light of Motiram is so blatantly comical, I can't help but wonder if it's an attempt to get attention, or if they're deliberately vandalizing the game to get the press's attention, and then planning to change the design once people remember the game's title,' he wrote.
The world view, where nature mixes with sci-fi mechanimals and buildings, is exactly the same as Horizon Zero Dawn, and Kotaku points out that the design of the humanoid characters is also very similar to Aloy, the protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Additionally, the way characters ride tamed Mechanimals also looks a lot like Horizon Zero Dawn.
Here is one of the screenshots from Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. If you don't know it, you can't help but mistake it for a screenshot of the same game.
In addition, the Mechanimal 'AGNI' that appears in Light of Motiram is below.

In contrast, the design of 'Fanghorn' that appears in Horizon Zero Dawn is as follows.
In addition, the mechanical animal 'YAMA' that appears in Light of Motiram is below.
The design of the 'Broadhead' that appears in Horizon Zero Dawn is as follows.
Kotaku points out that it's 'ironic' that Sony has partnered with Pocket Pair, the developer of Palworld, which was sued by Nintendo, to form a joint venture called Palworld Entertainment .
