Sony and Tencent have agreed to halt all marketing and public testing for Tencent’s game Light of Motiram ahead of a major court hearing in early 2026 in Sony’s copyright lawsuit over the title. Sony filed the suit in July 2024, alleging that Light of Motiram copied character designs and survival-game mechanics from its Horizon franchise. Ahead of the key hearing, Tencent agreed to suspend all promotional activities and public tests for the game and committed not to release it before the fourth quarter of 2027. Sony’s Horizon series comprises three main titles, and the first Horizon: Zero Dawn was released in 2017. [IThome, in Chinese]
