Tencent's Polaris Quest announces mobile release for its ambitious open-world RPG, Light of Motiram! The game, also launching on Epic Games Store, Steam, and PlayStation 5, boasts a surprisingly expansive feature set.
Initial announcements via Chinese social media (via Gematsu) hint at a mobile version alongside other platforms. This is ambitious given the game's impressive visuals and complex gameplay.
Light of Motiram defies easy genre classification. It blends open-world RPG elements reminiscent of Genshin Impact with base-building (like Rust), creature collection and customization (evoking Horizon Zero Dawn and perhaps even Palworld), and cooperative and cross-platform play. The sheer number of features is both impressive and raises questions about its feasibility on mobile.
The game's diverse features could be seen as a response to accusations of copying other titles. While intriguing, the visual fidelity and intricate systems raise concerns about a smooth multi-platform release, especially on mobile.
A mobile beta is reportedly in development. Further details regarding the mobile release remain scarce. In the meantime, check out our list of top five new mobile games this week!
