Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit
Sony is suing Tencent over the game "Light of Motiram," which Sony claims is a "slavish clone" of its Horizon series. Sony alleges that "Light of Motiram" infringes on its copyrights and trademarks, citing similarities in the game's aesthetic, including the large robot animals and font style. According to the lawsuit, Tencent started developing "Light of Motiram" in 2023 and even pitched a Horizon sequel to Sony, which was rejected. Sony claims it had discussions with Tencent to resolve the issue, but Tencent continued to seek a license for the Horizon intellectual property, which Sony refused to grant. This lawsuit is the latest in a series of high-profile legal battles over allegedly similar video games, including the lawsuit between Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Pocketpair over the game Palworld.
