Tencent's Horizon Zero Dawn 'ripoff' looks different after Sony lawsuit

Tencent's Horizon Zero Dawn-inspired game, Light of Motiram, has undergone changes in its marketing materials after facing a lawsuit from Sony. The game's Steam page and other promotional content have been modified to reduce the visual similarities with Horizon Zero Dawn, a popular title developed by Guerrilla Games. The lawsuit from Sony alleged that Light of Motiram's initial marketing materials too closely resembled Horizon Zero Dawn, potentially causing consumer confusion. In response, Tencent has revised the game's visuals and branding to create a more distinct identity. While the core gameplay of Light of Motiram may still be inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn, the changes in the game's marketing suggest an effort to avoid direct comparisons and potential legal issues. The move highlights the importance of maintaining distinct intellectual property and avoiding the perception of copying successful titles in the gaming industry.
