Earlier this year Sony sued Tencent<\/a> for copyright infringement over its Light of Motiram<\/em> game, calling it a “slavish clone” of Horizon Zero Dawn. Then, earlier this month, Tencent agreed to stop promoting<\/a> and publicly testing the game. Now, the two companies have reached a “confidential settlement” and the case has been dismissed, according to court documents<\/a> seen by The Verge<\/em><\/a>. Light of Motiram<\/em> has also disappeared from Steam and Epic’s game stores.<\/p>\n “SIE and Tencent are pleased to have reached a confidential resolution and will have no further public comment on this matter,” Tencent’s spokesperson told The Verge.<\/em><\/p>\n When Sony first filed its lawsuit in July 2025, it said that Tencent’s game appeared to copy aspects of not just Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em>, but other franchise games including Horizon Forbidden West<\/em><\/a> and Lego Horizon Adventures<\/em><\/a>. That included the post-apocalyptic setting with humans and machines coexisting, the visual appearance of characters and even the marketing materials \u2014 something Engadget certainly noticed when Tencent first announced the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
