Overview

• Filed on September 17, the motion argues Sony aims to "fence off a well‑trodden corner of popular culture" rather than protect legitimate intellectual property.
• Tencent cites Guerrilla Games’ own remarks, highlighting art director Jan‑Bart Van Beek’s acknowledgment of similarities between Horizon’s concept and 2013’s Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
• The filing claims Sony sued the wrong entities and lacks personal jurisdiction over Tencent Holdings, Tencent America, and Proxima Beta U.S., identifying Polaris Quest/Aurora Studios and Proxima Beta PTE as responsible for Light of Motiram.
• Tencent says the allegations are speculative because the game is unreleased, notes the Steam page was altered to remove Horizon‑like imagery, and points to a 2027 release window.
• Sony’s July complaint alleges copyright and Aloy‑related trademark infringement and references a 2024 pitch meeting, which Tencent says did not involve Holdings staff and cannot constitute infringement.
