I’m pleased to share some exciting news involving our crafty, stitched-together character we all know and love – that’s right, I’m talking about the one and only Sackboy. Today, we are officially announcing that our cloth friend and all of his fellow Sack-people will be back for a completely new adventure in LittleBigPlanet 2, which will be released later this year for PS3!
LittleBigPlanet established the Play, Create, Share creative gaming genre and we can’t thank the fans and critics enough for the praise and support we’ve received. The game continues to grow and evolve, helped by countless players around the globe. In fact, the sharing nature of the game has become so embraced, it has attracted fans to publish more than two million levels to the PlayStation Network since the award-winning game was released!
To show you what you can expect from LittleBigPlanet 2, here’s an exclusive look at our spanking new trailer:
So, what can you expect from LittleBigPlanet 2?
First of all, it’s developed by Media Molecule, the extremely talented team that brought you the first game, so you know you’re going to get a special experience. LittleBigPlanet 2 will provide a whole new collection of tools and rules for fans to Play, Create, and Share, including an evolved approach to control and customization that has never been seen before.
LittleBigPlanet has always empowered users to create their own levels by utilizing the same tools as the development team. Now in LittleBigPlanet 2, we’ve upped the ante, giving players the ability to not only make better levels, but completely new games – think top-down racing games, multiplayer shooters, flying side-scrollers, RPGs, etc. The possibilities are really endless.
LBP2 will also have a loads of new features, including revamped graphics, a fresh storyline, added accessories and equipment for Sackboy, and much, much more – trust me I’m only scratching the surface here!
absolutely beautiful
make your own rpg, platformer, racer, I haven’t heard anything about making your own fighters or action game.
HOLY ****, NO MORE LIMITATIONS! DAY 1 PURCHASE!
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!! Good thing I never bought LBP 1 lol!
I just went through the trailer frame by frame.
Looks like the racing one was achieved by setting the gravity to zero and attaching a rocket to your cart. So you may now have the ability to change the gravity.
At 1:27 you can see the camera is actually rotating instead of the entire level like most people had to do in the first one. You can tell this is true by watching the background graphics rotate along with the level.
Looks like there is new ‘fur’ graphics.
Looks like you may be able to customize your planets appearance for people coming and checking out your profile.
The planets appearance seem to change based on what level pack you are playing.
The character at 1:06 has been showing multiple times throughout the video which shows he has some importance in the game, grandfather sack maybe?
0:36 you character have new emotes, dancing?
This is awesome, totally going to get this day one. Way to go Sony for sticking with this amazing franchise. >:|
This is just like what Capcom did for SSFIV, except this is BC with the old LBP. Will it be priced as a normal game?
Looks great. Btw whats the song?
If you guys are announcing this now, I seriously can’t imagine what kind of surprises you have lined up for E3. It’s sure to blow last year’s E3 away (no easy feat).
i know this sounds silly but it looks like theres more than just 4 ppl playing :O
This is HUGE!
I must admit, when I first heard of this, I had my doubts. But that trailer (and then reading up on it on the site, of course) convinced me otherwise. Definitely a pre-order, day of release, ASAP kinda buy.
Wow, that video was simply amazing. Great job, MM! LBP2 is going to be another must have exclusive title for PS3 owners. I can’t wait!
I hope the game ends up selling 6 MILLION copies when its all set and done, double of what the original has sold so far!
Amazing! Can’t wait…
you guys are falling for it. sony only wants your money. they dont care about what we think. theyre evil! theyre making stupid games like this one.
Hell yes!
holy *BEEP*! loved the 1st one but 2nd one looks better!
i love new features! will you guys make creating level easier?
like modnation racer?
LBP was great but im not artistic and cant create one level.
Great, just fix the platforming mechanics. Way too floaty and inaccurate.
I was wondering how will you get dlc from goty?The dlc is on the disc,so you can’t donload it,and i’m not spending $30 to get something i already have.So if there will be a way to get can someone tell me?
please tell me we can transfer OUR BOUGHT DLC!!
Let’s hope this does make the winter release before the big holiday seasons. If so this will kill everything this x-mas season.
Absolute Insanity!!! Love every second of the Trailer. Jaw droped the entire time.
I am going Crazy over this… Best News Announced. EVER! I always knew MM would make a sequel for LBP, but I never expected them to push the evolope so much that it would burst.
Sony, keep up the great job. You always deliver.
If no one is going to say it, I might as well…..
We all know this game is ‘Revolutionary’ but there are alot of people out there who are too ignorant to even care for this game. Im talking ’bout WII owners who are too caught up on those crapy games that uses flashy advertisement to hide their fail attemps at what they intend on doing.
What we must do is spread the word about this amazing game, give it the atention and credit that it desperately desearves, and bring it in the spotlight with todays ‘gameing icons’. Some times, i feel that LBP does not get all the cretit it deserves. Its up to us to give it.
My mind was here.. and then it got blown away! If you guys fix the multiplayer lag I got with the first one I will buy five copies of this game!
Finally Yeeeessss. Been waiting loved the first one spent countless hours playing it.
This looks absolutely amazing. PS3 FTW always.
Only thing I am hoping is that the costumes we bought for LBP will transfer over to LBP2 somehow, cuz i really don’t want to buy the exact same costume again.
Will LBP1 be completely obsolete after this?
2 Words: Just.WOW
dope dope dope, Im sold!
How Fantasticly Wonderful
In 2007, we fell in love with the play create share world of sackboy, and we couldnt get enough of it
In 2010, just 3 years and 2 million levels later, MM has been able amp their existing frianchise.
I can only expect the best of this wonderous imaginative world of Litte Big Planet….2
how we’ll look years back from now and see that this is it, this is the creative change that will push the minds of millions to a new age in gaming! Where would we be without LBP…..hmmmmmm
XD
Please announce a new Syphon Filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH! THIS IS WHY I LOVE SONY AND MEDIA MOLECULE!
This is the most exciting news I have had since E3 with ModNation Racers, I got my PS3 for the first game, and now look! THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN!!! Marvelous!
Omg…. I can’t believe it… LBP2!!!! I CAN’T EVEN WAIT TILL WINTER NOW!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
So excited to see lbp2 when i got my gi mag in the mail the other day…trailer is sweet…thx for letting us keep all of our old DLC! :D
cant wait-.
these games is y i bought playstation!
Hey Eric! Super cool to see some of your answers to questions here… I have something that I’m dying to get an answer to about LBP2. We know we’ll be able to use a mouse and keyboard to a certain extent… What about pen tablets? I just tried controlling the XMB with a Wacom tablet and it does work… So would it theoretically work in LBP2? Has Media Molecule thought of this. It would be such an amazing feature for artists who love working with a pen or brush that the tablets allow us to do with paint and editing programs already!
Whenever this releases, it’s going to be the best game of that time frame. I’m actually SO excited after watching that trailer.
And very good choice for music, the music in LBP always seems to be music I’ve heard before, or the same music genre I listen to. I love it. Passion Pit FTW!
I just cant get enough of this trailer. Its so adicting!!!
This is the 50th time I’ve watch this Video XD
AT 0:46……… Do I see sackboy doing flips in the air?
that would be so cool if they had that. XD New emotes would be epic! and fully animated features such as dancing! ohhhhhh…. epic XD
I love Little Big Planet and this one is looking futureistic and much better than the 1st one so im buying it right when it comes out
Just when I thought yah couldn’t do anything else to improve this game, yah go and blow it up!!!!! Creation tools to make brand new whole games besides a platformer?!?! Thats insane. You guys literally blew it up. I’m not sayin that to compliment yah, yah really really took a huge leap forward and made the game bigger than it ever was before. Now I’m wonderin, besides the usual stickers and outfits, what are yah gonna give for dlc?
this could hurt the sales of ModNation Racer. They take the create mode into the whole new level. Kudos for MediaMolecule
Just remember not to put any Muslim songs in this one. Oh, wait. If I can upload sounds……..
This is the reason I LOVE gaming. Thanks to Mm for making such great gamez. Cheers and can’t wait until E3!!!
What about all the DLC we bought what will happen to them.
Oh happy day! This is great news. That trailer was awesome and all the new ways to create our content makes this even better. Now people will be able to create whatever they want to the next step. Thanks for this and again the trailer was AWESOME!
Great Monday news! I hope we get to keep our content. I love my Kratos costume! :p
Amazing news, this will be a safe buy, thanks media molecule for this great news.
Oh my god! Passion Pit and LBP… together! It’s a bloody dream come true!
I absolutely can’t wait to see what other music will make its way into LBP2.
Will we be able to use Sleepyhead in making a level?
awesome I cant wait!
i’m not surprised they are using passion pit for one of their songs. i love that song and it fits lbp perfectly.
Sweet
