Tencent's Light of Motiram: A Horizon-Inspired Mobile RPG Unveiled

It's an exciting time for gaming enthusiasts as major announcements keep rolling in. Not only have we received confirmation of Project Mugen's official title, but we're also thrilled to learn that Tencent-owned Polaris Quest's upcoming open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, is set to make its way to mobile devices, according to recent news.

The studio has hinted at this expansive release via Chinese social media, as reported by Gematsu. Light of Motiram is not only slated for release on Epic Games and Steam, but also on PlayStation 5, and seemingly mobile platforms. Given the game's ambitious feature set and high visual fidelity, bringing it to mobile seems like a bold move.

So, what exactly is Light of Motiram? Describing it is no easy feat, as the game seems to blend elements from various genres. It's an open-world RPG akin to Genshin Impact, but with the added twist of base-building reminiscent of Rust. The presence of giant mechanical animals you can train and customize adds a flavor similar to Horizon Zero Dawn and Palworld.

One way to address concerns about similarities to other games (which has understandably upset some Horizon fans) is by including a wide array of features. It's a strategy that's both surprising and impressive, yet also intriguing. However, I'm cautiously optimistic about whether a game with such high visual standards and complex systems can seamlessly transition across multiple platforms.

Currently, there's word of a mobile beta in development. As more details emerge, we'll discover how Tencent and Polaris Quest plan to adapt this expansive experience for smartphones.
