‘Based Almost Entirely On Speculation’ Tencent Attempts to Dismiss Sony’s Horizon Clone Lawsuit

In July 2025, Sony filed a lawsuit against Tencent over the game *Light of Motiram*, claiming it unfairly copied their *Horizon* series. Sony argued that the gameplay, world, story, and characters were too similar to *Horizon: Zero Dawn* and *Forbidden West*, potentially confusing players and allowing Tencent to profit from Sony’s established brand. However, Tencent has countered, stating that Sony’s claims aren’t strong enough to justify a full trial.
