We noted, when Light of Motiram was first unveiled in late 2024, that it looked a lot like Horizon: Zero Dawn—to the point that we also wondered whether it might earn the ire of Sony. It took the better part of a year, but sure enough, Sony eventually filed a lawsuit against Tencent, parent of…
Everyone’s laughing until someone gets whisked away by a dust devil with a backpack full of food. This is how I imagine Peak’s Mesa Update is going to go when it drops next week. The goofy co-op climbing game will add the mesa biome to the rotation on August 11 along with new items, badges,…
