Tencent's Polaris Quest unveils its ambitious open-world RPG, Light of Motiram, slated for mobile release alongside PC and console versions. The game boasts a unique blend of genres, defying easy categorization.
Initial announcements on Chinese social media, reported by Gematsu, confirm releases on Epic Games Store, Steam, PlayStation 5, and mobile. This expansive feature set and high visual fidelity raise questions about the feasibility of a smooth mobile experience.
