Sony is suing Tencent, claiming the company's survival game Light of Motiram is a 'slavish clone' of Horizon Zero Dawn

• Tencent is being sued by Sony for its Horizon Zero Dawn-like survival game Light of Motiram
• Sony alleges that the game is a "slavish clone" of the Horizon IP
• It's also claimed that Tencent reached out to Sony to collaborate on a new Horizon game, which Sony declined

Sony is suing Tencent over Light of Motiram, the publisher's open-world survival game that looks an awful lot like Horizon Zero Dawn.

Initially reported by Reuters, Sony has filed a lawsuit against Tencent for copyright and trademark infringement, claiming the Chinese tech company has created a knock-off game of its Horizon intellectual property.

Sony alleges that the company's upcoming game Light of Motiram, developed by Polaris Quest, is a "slavish clone" of Guerrilla Games' 2017 title and copies several Horizon elements, like gameplay, art style, post-apocalyptic themes, the game's playable protagonist Aloy, and other details.
