Tencent's Open-World RPG 'Light of Motiram' Set for Mobile Debut

Tencent's Polaris Quest unveils its ambitious open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, slated for mobile release! This expansive title, also coming to Epic Games Store, Steam, and PlayStation 5, boasts a surprising blend of genres.

The game features base-building, survival mechanics, creature collection and customization, cooperative play, and even crossplay functionality. This impressive feature list, coupled with its high visual fidelity, raises questions about its feasibility on mobile platforms. Does it risk being overly ambitious?

The game's genre-bending nature is both its strength and potential weakness. Elements reminiscent of Genshin Impact, Rust, Horizon Zero Dawn, and even Palworld are apparent, leading to comparisons and accusations of borrowing from other successful titles. However, this eclectic mix could also prove uniquely appealing.

While a mobile beta is reportedly in development, the challenges of porting such a visually rich and mechanically complex game to mobile devices remain significant. The studio's ability to successfully implement all its features on smartphones is yet to be seen.

More details on the mobile release are expected later. In the meantime, explore our list of the week's top five new mobile games to stay entertained!
