It's a day packed with exciting announcements, and among them is the confirmation that Tencent-owned Polaris Quest's upcoming open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, is set to grace mobile platforms alongside its release on Epic Games, Steam, and PlayStation 5. This news, as shared by the studio through Chinese social media and reported by Gematsu, has sparked considerable interest, especially given the game's ambitious feature set.

Light of Motiram is a bit of a genre chameleon. At first glance, it seems to fit snugly into the open-world RPG category, reminiscent of titles like Genshin Impact. But as you delve deeper into its features, it starts to borrow elements from various other genres. Base building? Think Rust. The inclusion of giant mechanical animals hints at a Horizon Zero Dawn influence, and the ability to train and customize these creatures adds a Palworld-like twist. It's as if the developers are throwing in every feature imaginable to create a unique gaming experience.

This ambitious blend of elements has raised eyebrows, particularly among Horizon fans who have expressed concerns about similarities. However, the sheer variety of features is both surprising and intriguing. Yet, it's also met with skepticism, as achieving such high visual fidelity and complex interlocking systems across multiple platforms, including mobile, seems like a tall order.

Currently, there's talk of a mobile beta in the works, which suggests that Tencent and Polaris Quest are indeed serious about bringing this expansive world to smartphones. We'll need to wait for more details to see how they plan to adapt the game for mobile devices.
