Is this Palworld all over again? The copying here is pretty blatant. Tencent Games owned developer Polaris Quest revealed LIGHT OF MOTIRAM and it seems very familiar.

Picture this: you run around with a bow and arrow, or a spear, and come across various mechanical beasts that freely roam the world. You've heard that before right? Because that's Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. But actually, it's not, it's LIGHT OF MOTIRAM.

Much like Palworld though, this adds quite a lot to the basic idea. There's online co-op for up to 10 people, 100 different Mechanimals to tame, ride, customize and take into combat with you. A full building system that has "realistic physics" with crafting, making it more of a traditional open-world survival game. Even so, their inspiration is truly obvious. The combat looks a fair bit more like Monster Hunter though, which is interesting. It's just the overall design work is very Horizon looking.

See their first teaser trailer below:

I must admit, I do love the look and sound of this one.

So far this is only a few images and a video. This stuff is easy to make these days. Making a functional and fun game is not easy. This may have tencent backing, but it's still a first product of a new studio. Jumping into something this complex out of nothing is going to be extremely problematic. This has "The Day Before" vibes written all over it and I'd be surprised if it ever sees the light of day.

Sounds like the game itself could be fun.

But I can't help laughing at the comedy which is a Chinese owned company ripping off foreign products and then selling it to the same market.
