The inevitable question Sony and Tencent face now is whether the PlayStation maker will take any action against Light of Motiram. Guerrilla is of course working on <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/live-service-game-horizon-online-reportedly-guerrillas-next-project-horizon-3-might-be-a-ways-off\">a multiplayer, live service Horizon game<\/a>, which you wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see look like Light of Motiram when Sony eventually makes its announcement. In that context, it probably won&#8217;t look too kindly upon Light of Motiram.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For now, Light of Motiram is due out on PC and mobile at some point in 2025.
