The previous announcement was slightly expanded by Polaris Quest and Aurora Studio (the latter was not known as one of the developers)…

So far, the open-world survival and combat game with the machine beasts will be available on PC Steam and Epic Games Store, but Tencent has announced on PlayStation’s Chinese platforms (Weibo, Bilibili) that the free-to-play title will be released on iOS, Android and PlayStation 5! There is also a six-minute reveal video and 16 minutes of gameplay.

In a world overrun by colossal machines, explore the vast open world, build your base, advance technology, train mechanimals, and take on formidable bosses. From the primitive age, forge a new path of development. Defy the machinations, survive with Mechanimals. The Earth and human civilization as we once knew it are gone. In the untamed wilderness, giant mechanical beasts roam free while humanity struggles to rebuild from the dawn of a new primitive age. Travel from lush tropical rainforests to barren desert landscapes and snow-capped mountain peaks as you discover unique Mechanimals and mysterious ruins in each region, gradually uncovering the secrets of Motiram.

In this mechanical wilderness where civilization is a distant memory, primitive cultures, extreme weather, and lurking Mechanimals will constantly test your survival skills. Use everything around you to stay alive and face off against formidable bosses, each step fraught with danger and requiring courage. Only by overcoming the challenges of survival can you carve out a place for yourself in this unforgiving land. Unleash your creativity with a free-form building system powered by realistic physics simulation. Construct a fortified stronghold or a cleverly designed shelter; every beam and brick is subject to real-world physical forces, ensuring that your structures are both visually stunning and able to withstand environmental challenges with endless architectural possibilities.

Dodge, block, and counter with precise timing and execution. Sharpen your combat skills in life-or-death situations, deftly weaving through enemy attacks, dodging deadly blows, and seizing opportunities to counterattack. Don’t forget to coordinate with your Mechanimal partners – choosing the right companion can make your battles twice as effective. Over 100 customizable Mechanimals await your taming and training. Whether you need combat support or a production boost, each Mechanimal has unique abilities and growth potential. Customize them with exclusive battle modes and production traits to make them your most powerful allies.

Team up with up to 10 players to take on daunting challenges. No matter where you are, you can embark on adventures with your friends at any time and enjoy a seamless gaming experience. From hunting mechanical beasts to gathering resources to building projects, progress never stops.

Light of Motiram will be released sometime next year for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android. Besides Horizon, Palworld also seems to be an inspiration…
