This might seem kind of ironic, given that you're reading about it right here on the front page of PC Gamer, but Tencent has promised that it will not do any new promotions or marketing for its Horizon-like survival game Light of Motiram, nor will it move up the release window for the currently planned Q4 2027, until a judge has decided on Sony's request for a preliminary injunction against the game.

The promise came in a filing made on December 1 (via The Game Post), the latest step in the legal tussle between Tencent and Sony. Sony filed suit against Tencent earlier this year over Light of Motiram, a game revealed in late 2024 that looked a lot like Horizon Zero Dawn; Sony took that characterization a step further in its lawsuit, calling Light of Motiram a "slavish clone" of the Horizon games.
