Tencent's Polaris Quest unveils its ambitious open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, slated for mobile release alongside PC and console platforms. Initial announcements on Chinese social media (via Gematsu) confirm releases on Epic Games Store, Steam, PlayStation 5, and mobile.
The game boasts a remarkably diverse feature set, blurring genre lines. Described as an open-world RPG, it incorporates base-building (reminiscent of Rust), creature collection and customization (Pokémon or Palworld), co-op, and even cross-play. The inclusion of giant, customizable mechanical creatures evokes comparisons to Horizon Zero Dawn. This eclectic mix raises questions about its feasibility, especially on mobile devices, given its impressive visuals.
The sheer breadth of features, while potentially impressive, also invites comparisons to other titles. However, the developers seem to be embracing this, throwing in a vast array of mechanics. While intriguing, the ambitious scope raises concerns about a smooth multi-platform launch, particularly on mobile.
A mobile beta is reportedly in development. Further details regarding the mobile version's optimization and release date are awaited. In the meantime, explore our list of top five new mobile games to enjoy while you wait!
