What is a Worm Hole?

The Worm Hole is Sackboy’s brilliant new teleportation tool that will enable him to travel safely from one Worm Hole to another within the same level without fear of losing a life.

This handy new tool will even allow Sackboy to teleport from your PS3 to your PS Vita and vice-versa, should you want him to return home. The most intuitive and creative level designers will even be able to use the tool to remove Sackboy from gameplay and effectively lock him in a state of stasis whilst action is taking place elsewhere in the level…However we’ll leave it up to you and Sackboy to discover just what potential his new Worm Hole discovery holds for LittleBigPlanet and the rest of the Omniverse!

Head into the Unexplored Cosmos Today

Sackboy has his brand new mission, so head on over to the Store today and you can pick up the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack, available for the PS3 for $4.99. Just a friendly reminder, you will need a PS3, PS Vita and a copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 for the new DLC pack. If you don’t already have a copy of LBP 2, there are a couple of easy ways to pick up a copy at a really great value. It’s currently a free PSN download for all PS Plus members, and starting today it will also be available for $13.99 as part of the Holiday Essentials Sale on PlayStation Store until December 24th.

  • So it’s $4.99 for PlayStation Plus subscribers as well?

  • Looks great! Cannot wait to finally play a cross-controller game on my PS3 with my Vita today!

    Just curious: How many new levels are included with the pack, and are they all playable alone? Having local co-op with the Vita & others on DualShock is fun, but how about when they’re not around?

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  • Is this thing will be available today on PSN Asia? Because you know, PSN Asia is usually few days behind from PSN US.

    • The LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack will release across the other regions tomorrow, during their regularly scheduled PlayStation Store update. :)

  • Is this out already in the Store? I can’t check right now. Or we still need for the store update?

  • Will be picking this up but I also wanted to say that I really like this ad. The people seem to be actually playing/enjoying/interacting with each other and the game. It also shows you a decent amount of ways you can interact with LBP2 which was the whole point that many commercials/ads miss when advertising a product. Kudos to everyone involved.

    • The levels contained within the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack will show you a whole bunch of ways to use Cross-Controller gameplay in your own levels, however I have do doubt that our amazing community will show us even more brilliant ways to utilise Cross-Controller gameplay in LittleBigPlanet!

  • Why is this being sold when Cross Controller has been featured in other games for free?

  • It that a bit pricey for Dlc

  • funny video when again these guys playing have never holded a ps3 controller before. :))
    and that nerd guy with the vita, he have no idea what his doing XDD

    anyway nice pack~ but i think it should be free to everyones.

    merry christmas everyones and have great time with families and alot of gifts :)

  • Yes! (Throws wallet at TV screen)

  • wow, that’s a nice bundle for $5 …. count me in ! the new costumes alone would normally come attached to a similar price …. & it looks quite intriguing with the Vita in the gameplay. as an LBP enthusiast, I would like to see some DLC bundles on sale for the holiday discounts. :-) would bring the cheer of the festive season to sack folk everywhere !

  • @7 This is an addon for a 2 year old game, other games its a launch feature. All LBP packs that contains levels cost money. This one cheaper than normal.

  • @8 it’s acutally a cheaper great deal for LBP Packs

  • That looks awesome, I can’t wait to play that with my son tonight. :)

  • Awesome!, can’t wait till the store updates. Also, I know the forums are reporting bugs to QA since the new patch. I hope you can get those fixed soon.

  • I understand that it took real work and creative effort to make this, but given how much of a selling point this is against the Wii U, it still feels like a huge misstep not to give it away for free.

  • @Major_Hoare This is the very first cross-controller game… Are you talking about the upcoming Guacamelee? which is the only other game I’m aware of that is planning on using cross-control so far.

    $5 sounds like a real steal for me, considering the amount of content and the work that went in to making a 2 year old game compatible with this technology. You are going to use your Vita as a controller… this is awesome. Not only are there new official levels and a new story, but it opens up the floodgates for a ton of new user-generated content as well. Suffice it to say I’m excited to play with this new feature. It’s like a complete upgrade to my consoles.

  • Quick update the Store ;(

  • On second thought, I think Major-Hoare might be confusing “cross-controller” with “cross-buy” or “cross-save”. For those confused, this is the very first cross-controller game, where you’ll use your Vita as a controller for the PS3, and it’s awesome, and in no way deserves complaints.

  • Im sure he means Cross-Play. We have more cross’s than Capcoms cross over franchises, crazy eh. I can understand the confusion.

  • Oh my, very excited! I hope it works and I hope Sony pushes the tech so developers make wonderful use of it. Fingers crossed!!! :D

  • Will this have additional trophies? I might have missed it saying so…

  • every time i get on here to see whats in store for the week i always see someone complaining bout prices,no games for ps3 or vita they wanna play.just constant complaining and nagging the editors.u guys need to grow up and be humble.and btw step ur money game UP! if u cant afford the games dont buy the consoles its that simple. BI.CH PLEASE!

  • @squiggles Let me clarify your confusion, UMVSC3 was the first cross controller game for vita.
    google is your friend .

  • How it will work for Vita? Do I need to have LBP for vita in order to play or will have an app to allow us to play with the cross controller?

    • This is a new pack for LittleBigPlanet 2 only.
      You will not require LittleBigPlanet PS Vita to be able to play the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack. :)

  • hmm, i watched the video, and i think i ‘get’ what they are trying to do…but i must say i don’t really understand this video at all :-(

    What is the person with the vita actually doing?

  • How do I enable cross controller? Is there a video on how to set this up?

  • Is it ever going to be possible to have all our littlebigplanet 1 and 2 costumes on our littlebigplanet vita? not the dlc but the regular costumes? I would love to have mine on the go ^_^

  • More games like this please. Wouldn’t it be nice to play Vita games on a large screen through PS3 bluetooth.

  • The video shows “couch co-op” stuff, but can it also be played solo? Basically, can Sackboy on the TV screen be controller with the Vita controls, or is the Vita limited to just passive “environment aid” functions…?

  • Awesome!!! I have my sister in law and her husband coming over and I am getting this as soon as possible to have some 4 player cross controller action!

  • @ AmericanNinja1 To Enable Cross Crontroller you Will need to goto Remote Play on your Ps Vita and the Cross-Controller Option will be right there When you start Remote Play.

  • @28

    I’m curious too. Would really bring the LBP world full circle if costumes from each game were available in the others. Though they would all have to be remade for the vita I assume?

  • Well another feature that should be free is paid. For those who say you’re paying for the missions, then why isn’t cross controller free and only the missions paid for?

    It’s the same lie sony told us whith cross play. There are only a handful of games that have it, and cross controller now is getting paid? Well you will not get a single dime from me.

    • You will be able to play community levels containing Cross-Controller gameplay without needing to own the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack. :)

  • Have a PS3? -Check
    Have LBP2? -Check
    Have a Vita? -Check

    I am so pumped for this. :D

  • I SO cannot wait for the Store to update! Instant purchase for me! Might have to also get the Move DLC since I haven’t gotten it yet..

    This is a stupid question, but a single player with a Vita will be able to play this right? As in alone? It’s not going to be required that you have a regular player to do stuff while the Vita player does their stuff on the Vita? I assume there will be stuff the others can do, but it won’t be required will it? I mostly play alone…

  • I can’t move my sackboys head or hips but up and down or front to back after this patch :\. I feel like its being restricted.

  • IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS UPDATE..ALTHOUGH I WISH IT WOULD BE AN UPDATE FOR THE PS3 ENTIRELY.IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH A GAME WHY NOT WORK ON AN UPDATE TO MAKE IT A UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER.IT WILL GIVE PEOPLE ANOTHER REASON TO BUY A VITA..NOT THAT IT DOESN’T HAVE MANY ALREADY..BUT THE MORE THE MERRIER..

  • @Squiggle55, Actually, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom was the first. LBP2 is now the second. But the UMvC, I didn’t have to buy any extra DLC.

  • ALSO I FORGOT TO ASK…AFTER I DOWNLOAD THE CROSS CONTROLLER UPDATE..WILL THIS ALSO WORK FOR THE OLD LEVELS..OR JUST THE NEW ONES?

  • @34:

    “Well another feature that should be free is paid. For those who say you’re paying for the missions, then why isn’t cross controller free and only the missions paid for?”

    It is free, assuming it follows the same trend as the other DLC functionality. You can PLAY user created levels that use this feature for free. You only pay to CREATE levels using this feature and for the DLC levels/costumes.

    Your loss if you want to miss out on great DLC.

  • NOW PLEASE MAKE IT FOR CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS2!! THAT WOULD BE EPIC!

  • I had no idea UMvC had cross-controller capability. They definitely should have advertised that more, because it’s an awesome feature.

  • $5 is dirt cheap for what it contains, but you guys should have just made it free to promote functionality between the PS3 and PSV, and show how it can do what the Wii U is doing. I’ll be downloading to compare it to Wii U, but my fear is this is a one time gimmick, and Sony is just showing that they can do what the Wii U can with PS3 and PSV, then they won’t ever do it again. Move has been almost forgotten by Sony development with just an occasional game or functionality patch here and there. The Sharpshooter is dead with NO new games supporting it. Please don’t start acting like Nintendo… you’re better than that Sony.

  • I downloaded the 1GB patch and charged my PS Vita. Now I’m ready! Come on Sony update the store please :)

  • Who needs Wii? :-D

  • Looks like for UMvC you need to own both versions of the game. It’s awesome that that isn’t the case here. Although you should own the Vita version of LBP if you don’t already. Thanks for the new content.

  • yes yes yes yes! Just sad because my little sisters left today on a plane and they love LBP, now I have no1 to play this with ='(

  • What a crybaby you are #34. This is a great deal. There’s no reason to complain over the price of this new feature. You get a lot for the $5.

  • This sounds great. Just wish I had more regular peeps to play this with as it sounds like a feature mostly for multiplayer.
