Escalating Dispute Over Alleged Similarities in Sony’s Horizon and Tencent’s Light of Motiram

The legal dispute between Sony and Tencent regarding the game Light of Motiram continues to escalate. The conflict originated when Sony accused Tencent of copying its Horizon series, an allegation Tencent refuted by asserting that Sony was attempting to monopolize common gaming tropes. Sony filed a lawsuit in July 2025, claiming Light of Motiram bears excessive similarities to the Horizon franchise. The lawsuit specifically cited a red-haired protagonist, mechanical creatures, and a post-apocalyptic setting in Light of Motiram. Furthermore, Sony stated that Tencent had previously offered to collaborate on a Horizon game, but Sony declined the proposal before Light of Motiram was officially announced. In response, Tencent argued that Sony cannot claim exclusive ownership over elements such as red-haired heroes and post-apocalyptic worlds, noting their common appearance in other titles like The Legend of Zelda and Far Cry. Tencent requested the court dismiss the case, asserting it is premature given that Light of Motiram is not scheduled for release until 2027. Tencent also highlighted Sony’s prior admission that Horizon Zero Dawn was not an entirely original concept. As of now, no new details regarding the case’s progression have been released.
