Alleged Horizon Clone Hearing Delayed as Tencent Invokes Mickey Mouse Defense

In July 2025, Sony sued Tencent, claiming that Tencent’s new game, Light of Motiram, illegally copies elements from Sony’s Horizon series, violating copyright and trademark laws. Shortly after, Sony asked the court to temporarily stop Tencent from using specific marketing materials and to require a change to the game’s main character. Sony has requested a court hearing on November 20th to discuss these requests.
