Tencent and subsidiary Polaris Quest have introduced Gentle of Motiram, an open-world survival-crafter coming to PC, PS5, and cell units someday subsequent 12 months, and it bears greater than a passing resemblance to a sure PlayStation franchise.
In a press launch, Polaris Quest and Tencent describe Gentle of Motiram as an “open-world multiplayer survival sport” set in a “lush world dominated by mechanical beasts”. I am certain that you could guess which PlayStation franchise it is jostling towards from that description.
Mentioned press launch additionally guarantees a “dynamic, impactful fight system” in Gentle of Motiram, in addition to “saga-worthy boss fights” with elemental weaknesses you may have to use alongside your “mechanimal” pals.
It is in all probability price stating at this stage that if you have not figured it out already, the PlayStation franchise with which Gentle of Motiram appears to share its mechanical DNA is, in fact, Guerrilla’s Horizon sequence.
The sport’s “mechanimals” are strikingly much like Horizon‘s creatures, proper all the way down to the soothing blue gentle that seems to signify their imaginative and prescient and the articulated limbs and appendages the creatures appear to have.
Nevertheless, gameplay-wise, it looks as if Gentle of Motiram will differ fairly a bit from Guerrilla’s sequence; it will not be a single-player action-adventure sport with RPG components, however a free-to-play survival-crafter with base-building and a multiplayer focus. Whether or not that is an enchancment, I will go away as much as you to determine.
Polaris Quest and Tencent are promising “practical physics simulation” wherein each object within the sport is topic to a physics engine, in addition to climate methods you may want to reply to with a purpose to emerge victorious towards the mechanimals and survive in Gentle of Motiram‘s world.
Tencent’s sport may also differ in a couple of different key methods; you’ll be able to enlist mechanimals that can assist you in fight and crafting, as an example, and you may additionally unlock new crafting recipes as you are taking down bosses, so it appears like you’ll be able to throw Palworld and Monster Hunter into the combination as properly. Jolly good!
Gentle of Motiram is ready to launch on PC and “console platforms” subsequent 12 months. Some reviews based mostly on Chinese language social media appear to point this implies PS5 solely, and that the sport is coming to cell units too, however the press launch would not specify. You may wishlist it on Steam proper now should you like.
