Tencent just kicked off a closed beta test for its upcoming cross-platform survival game, LIGHT OF MOTIRAM, and things are already heating up. Inspired by the futuristic wilderness of games like Horizon Zero Dawn, this new title is inviting a select group of 10,000 players in China to dive into a lush, dangerous world teeming with mechanical wildlife and raw, untamed terrain.
Here’s the deal — if you were lucky enough to snag an invite, you can jump in today on Android, iOS, or PC. And if not? Well, hang tight. From what early testers are saying, this one might be worth the wait.
Gameplay-wise, LIGHT OF MOTIRAM is a third-person survival sim where you’re thrown into a savage landscape with nothing but your instincts and a few tools to get started. You’ll build up a small base, scavenge for materials, and explore an open world filled with threats, mysteries, and robotic predators that look like they walked straight out of a sci-fi fever dream.
Despite the game’s massive scope, it keeps things refreshingly hands-on. There’s no auto-play here — every move, every hunt, every flight through the clouds is up to you. That’s a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s tired of watching their character play the game for them.
And it’s not all solo grinding, either. LIGHT OF MOTIRAM leans into its MMO roots by letting players team up. You can build a home with friends, sneak into high-level danger zones, go boss hunting, or just chill out and tame rideable creatures. Yep, there’s even flying. Ever wanted to soar above a techno-jungle on the back of a mechanical beast? Now’s your chance.
Visually, the game’s pretty stunning too. Even with a UI that’s still packed with Chinese text, the interface is clean and easy to figure out, and the graphics feel next-gen across the board. Think sharp lighting, dynamic environments, and creature design that’s both creepy and oddly beautiful.
If LIGHT OF MOTIRAM can stick the landing and deliver on its beta promises, it might just become one of the more exciting entries in the survival MMO space. It’s got style, grit, and just enough weird to make it stand out.
