New open world game cheekily steals almost everything from Horizon: Zero Dawn and Monster Hunter - but looks outrageously good

The machine beast could easily come from Horizon, right? It's actually from Light of Motiram.

Today was the gameLight of Motiramannounced, which is currently causing frowns among its viewers instead of anticipation. We'll tell you what we know so far about the “Horizon clone,” which has been confirmed for release on Steam and Epic Games.

New open world game looks like Horizon and is called “shameless.”

Light of Motiram is being developed by the previously unknown development studio Polaris Quest. This is a subsidiary of the Chinese industry giant Tencent.

If you look at pictures of Light of Motiram, they should look familiar to you. In addition to a beautiful world, they show mechanical animals that are really reminiscent of the Horizon games.

You can get your own idea of ​​Light of Motiram with the following trailer:

A Horizon clone?The trailer shows different areas populated by so-called “Mechanimals”. They go about their everyday lives in the diverse game world, covering long distances in a pack.

With your character you seem to be able to both fight and ride the mechanical animals. Either way, the Mechanimals will almost certainly be an important component of the game. It's just strange that this very core point seems to be based on a copy.

The game's description does nothing to distance itself from similarities to the Horizon games. Quite the opposite. To do this, we'll translate the first two sections from the current description of the gameSteamfor you:

“The Earth and human civilization as we once knew them no longer exist. Gigantic mechanical beasts roam the untamed wilderness as humanity attempts to rebuild itself from the dawn of a primitive era.

Travel from tropical rainforests to barren desert landscapes and snow-capped mountain peaks as you discover unique Mechanimals and mysterious ruins in different regions, gradually uncovering the secrets of Motiram.”

As you can see, everything is currently heading towards the Horizon. So much so that several people have already commented on the game on social media, calling it “shameless“ have referred to. X-User @ItzPaulHD_v1 took this as an opportunity to share some of the images from Light of Motiramto confront.

Light of Motiram is also reminiscent of other franchises:The official Steam page also promises that you can team up with up to nine other players in cross-play to tackle the big beasts together.

If you didn't pay attention to the huge beasts before, you should now at the latestMonster Hunterthink. The different regions are also reminiscent of the franchise.

However, people already have the monster-taming elements of Light of Motiramcompared, in turn by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, for violations of several patent rights. It is currently unclear whether Light of Motiram or Polaris Quest will get into trouble with Sony or Guerrilla Games.

In addition to well-known elements from other games, Light of Motiram will include an open world, survival elements and base building.Additionally, the first images of the game (similar to Horizon) look simply breathtakingly beautiful. It is still unclear whether the final game will look like the trailer. The game's release date is currently pending.

At this point we are curious to hear the opinion of the GamePro community: Is Light of Motiram a cheeky Horizon clone or do you think there can be more to the game?
