Tencent's Mobile RPG 'Light of Motiram' Inspired by Horizon

Tencent-owned Polaris Quest's upcoming open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, is set to launch on mobile, alongside releases on Epic Games Store, Steam, and PlayStation 5. This ambitious title boasts a compelling blend of features, including base-building, survival elements, creature collection and customization, cooperative gameplay, and even cross-play functionality.

The game's description defies easy categorization. Initially appearing as a Genshin Impact-esque open-world RPG, Light of Motiram also incorporates base-building mechanics reminiscent of Rust, giant customizable mechanical creatures echoing Horizon Zero Dawn, and creature companionship elements similar to Palworld. This eclectic mix of gameplay styles raises questions about its feasibility, particularly on mobile devices.

The sheer breadth of features is both surprising and impressive, though it also fuels skepticism regarding a smooth cross-platform release, especially given the game's visual fidelity. While a mobile beta is reportedly in development, details remain scarce. The challenge lies in successfully integrating these diverse systems and maintaining a high level of visual quality on a mobile platform.

Further information on the mobile release is expected in the future. In the meantime, explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week!
