A brand new sport from Tencent appears like a reasonably blatant Horizon ripoff

Particulars about an epic-looking upcoming sci-fi journey sport simply dropped. The pictures and teaser trailer depict a post-apocalyptic world through which people in primitive-style garb battle big dinosaur-like robots whereas sweeping orchestral music performs. All of it appears just a little acquainted. However wait, this isn’t the following Horizon sport from Guerrilla. Oh, no, no. That is an initial look at a sport from a Tencent subsidiary referred to as Polaris Quest.

Guerrilla and Sony do not precisely maintain a monopoly on tamable robotic dinosaurs or open-world crafting video games. However at first look, Light of Motiram is a reasonably blatant Horizon ripoff. It mimics Guerilla’s artwork fashion and animations, proper right down to the considerable lens flares. One picture exhibits a trio of human characters utilizing bows and spears to deal with a mammoth-style machine. Even the sport’s emblem font and outline ape that of Horizon’s — Gentle of Motiram is about humanity’s try and “rebuild from the daybreak of a brand new primitive period.”

There are some variations, in equity. Right here, you may assemble your individual shelters, whereas skilled “Mechanimals” will help you in fight. There’s co-op assist for as much as 10 gamers as properly. Whereas Guerrilla is engaged on a multiplayer game, the current Lego Horizon Adventures spinoff is the one Horizon sport so far that options co-op.

In a single sense, followers of the Horizon sequence will perceive why it is apt that the video games appear to have successfully been cloned. We’ll have to attend to see simply how egregiously Polaris Quest has copied Aloy’s adventures. Gentle of Motiram does not have a launch window as but, however the seemingly free-to-play title is coming to Steam and the Epic Video games Retailer. Until Sony slaps Tencent with a cease-and-desist first, that’s.
