Sony sues Tencent over "slavish" Horizon knock off Light of Motiram
PlayStation maker Sony is suing Tencent for allegedly ripping off its Horizon video games.
Watch on YouTube The complaint by Sony alleges Tencent's Light of Motiram is unlawfully similar to both Horizon Zero Dawn, which was originally released in 2017, and its sequel Forbidden West, which came out in 2022. Not only that, the filing revealed that Tencent began working on Light of Motiram in 2023, before it approached Sony in 2024 with a pitch to create its own Horizon game in collaboration with the PlayStation maker. "Sony is thus forced to file this action and seek judicial relief to protect its valuable and hard-earned intellectual property rights in the Horizon franchise," the complaint reads.
