Apparently Sony had the same reaction as the rest of us when Tencent announced a game that looks shockingly similar to Horizon Zero Dawn. It's suing the Chinese tech company over the open world game, which like Horizon is set in a lush post-apocalypse and stars a woman with a bow who fights and tames animals made of metal.

In the lawsuit, Sony calls Tencent's Light of Motiram a "slavish clone" of the Horizon series that copies its entire aesthetic, story, themes, and gameplay in a way that could confuse consumers. Sony is asking for an unspecified amount of monetary damages and an order that prevents Tencent from infringing on its IP rights.
