Sony has filed a lawsuit against Tencent because the game Light of Motiram that is currently being developed is allegedly copying Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. In the same writ filed by Sony, Light of Motiram has various similarities to the Horizons series such as humans fighting robot animals and the choice of font design.
Sony said that Tencent had met with them in 2024 during the Game Developers Conference (GDC) to apply for a license to develop the Horizon game. This was rejected by Sony. After the trailer for Light of Motiram was shown by Tencent, Sony met again to resolve the issue of intellectual property infringement. However, Tencent again asked Sony to allow the game to be launched using the Horizon license.
After the trailer for Light of Motiram was released in November last year, comments left by viewers generally said that it was a clone of the Horizon series and also borrowed elements from Monster Hunter published by Capcom. Tencent has not issued an official statement on the lawsuit filed by Sony.
