"Tencent's Light of Motiram: A Mobile Horizon-Inspired RPG"

It's a day packed with exciting announcements in the gaming world, and one that stands out is the confirmation of Tencent-owned Polaris Quest's upcoming open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, making its way to mobile platforms. This news follows the official naming of Project Mugen, indicating a bustling period for game reveals.

Polaris Quest has hinted at the mobile release through Chinese social media, as reported by Gematsu. Light of Motiram is not just limited to mobile; it's also slated for release on Epic Games, Steam, and PlayStation 5. Given the game's ambitious feature set and high visual quality, its adaptation to mobile devices is certainly noteworthy.

So, what exactly is Light of Motiram? It's a challenging question to pin down because its features span across multiple genres. At its core, it's an open-world RPG, reminiscent of titles like Genshin Impact. But it doesn't stop there—Light of Motiram also incorporates base-building elements akin to Rust, and introduces giant mechanical animals that players can train and customize, drawing parallels to Horizon Zero Dawn and Palworld.

The game seems to be throwing everything into the mix, from survival elements and creature collection to co-op and crossplay features. While this breadth of content is impressive and intriguing, it also raises skepticism about the feasibility of delivering such a complex experience across various platforms, especially mobile, with its high visual fidelity and interlocking systems.

Currently, a mobile beta for Light of Motiram is reportedly in development. As more details emerge, we'll gain a clearer picture of how Tencent and Polaris Quest plan to bring this ambitious project to smartphones.
