Is this Palworld all over again? The copying here is pretty blatant. Tencent Games owned developer Polaris Quest revealed LIGHT OF MOTIRAM and it seems very familiar.

Picture this: you run around with a bow and arrow, or a spear, and come across various mechanical beasts that freely roam the world. You've heard that before right? Because that's Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. But actually, it's not, it's LIGHT OF MOTIRAM.

Much like Palworld though, this adds quite a lot to the basic idea. There's online co-op for up to 10 people, 100 different Mechanimals to tame, ride, customize and take into combat with you. A full building system that has "realistic physics" with crafting, making it more of a traditional open-world survival game. Even so, their inspiration is truly obvious. The combat looks a fair bit more like Monster Hunter though, which is interesting. It's just the overall design work is very Horizon looking.

See their first teaser trailer below:

I must admit, I do love the look and sound of this one.

Taking existing games and mixing them up with other mechanics has been a tried-and-true method of game development since the beginning of game development.

But are we sure this doesn't violate 30 patents owned by the publisher of Horizon Zero Dawn?

This is true but people don't just create carbon copies like this one.

Now Nintendo should sponsor this game to hit back at Sony for helping Palworld. Perfect for Switch 2. lol

This game looks like a bunch of assets and mechanics ripped from Horizon and if that's the case, then this game might not be there for long if and when Sony sue them for it.
