Well gamers, looks like another clone bites the dust. Light of Motiram, that survival game that had everyone doing double-takes because of its striking resemblance to Horizon Zero Dawn, has completely vanished from both Steam and Epic Games Store. The culprit? A mysterious confidential settlement between publishing giant Tencent and Sony.
For those who missed the initial controversy, Light of Motiram was basically Horizon with a survival twist. We're talking robot dinosaurs, post-apocalyptic vibes, and a protagonist that looked suspiciously familiar to anyone who's spent time with Aloy. The game had been generating buzz in the survival game community, with many players curious about whether it could deliver a decent experience despite the obvious inspiration.
Now here's where it gets interesting for deal hunters and patient gamers. With the game pulled from storefronts, anyone who wishlisted it hoping for a launch discount is out of luck. But this situation might create some ripple effects worth watching. If Tencent decides to heavily modify and re-release the game, we could see aggressive pricing to win back consumer trust. Alternatively, this might push more players toward the actual Horizon games, which could mean better deals on Forbidden West Complete Edition as we head into 2026.
The big question mark hanging over this whole situation is whether Light of Motiram will resurface in a new form or if Tencent is cutting their losses entirely. Either way, this serves as a reminder to grab games you're interested in when they're available, because in today's gaming landscape, titles can disappear faster than loot in a battle royale.
