Tencent's Polaris Quest announces its open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, for mobile, alongside PC and console releases. This ambitious title boasts a blend of genres, defying easy categorization.
The game features base-building, survival elements, creature collection and customization, cooperative play, and even cross-platform functionality. Initial announcements on Chinese social media, reported by Gematsu, highlight releases on Epic Games Store, Steam, PlayStation 5, and mobile.
The sheer scope of Light of Motiram raises questions about its feasibility on mobile devices. The game's visuals and complex interconnected systems – encompassing open-world RPG elements reminiscent of Genshin Impact, base-building similar to Rust, and giant customizable mechanical creatures echoing Horizon Zero Dawn and even Palworld – are impressive but potentially challenging to implement on a mobile platform.
While the developer's approach of incorporating numerous features might address concerns about similarities to other titles, the technical hurdles of a mobile port remain. A mobile beta is reportedly planned, offering a glimpse into how Tencent and Polaris Quest will achieve this ambitious undertaking.
Further details regarding the mobile release are expected later. In the meantime, explore our list of the top five new mobile games to play this week!
