‘Shameless,’ ‘slavish,’ and unoriginal: Sony’s snark-filled lawsuit forced Tencent to backtrack on its Horizon clone

The Horizon franchise is one of Sony's best, both in terms of sales and quality. It's so good, in fact, that Tencent decided to liberally take a few pages out of its book, but overdid it a little, leading Sony to file a formal copyright lawsuit.

Now, however, Tencent's Horizon clone, called Light of Motiram, has been refurbished with new looks and content to differentiate it from Sony's IP. Any and all content resembling Horizon's assets, story, characters, or otherwise has been removed from promotional materials, including the game's Steam page. Additionally, its release date has been pushed back significantly, with Light of Motiram now slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2027.
