Sony and Tencent are pumping the brakes on their lawsuit over Light of Motiram after everyone called it a Horizon knockoff. Both companies asked a California court to push back hearings and extend their briefing deadlines while they hash things out behind closed doors.
Tencent promised not to run any marketing campaigns or public tests for the game while the injunction hearing is pending. The release window got locked to Q4 2027 at the earliest, and Tencent agreed not to chase expedited discovery on the case.
Both sides will show up for hearings on the motion to dismiss and the injunction at the end of January next year. They might settle before then if their private talks actually go somewhere.
