The Pirates of the Caribbean Level Kit, includes a completely new adventure spanning five new levels and a mini-game. Be sure to put on your swimming gear as these new levels feature a completely new gameplay element that will make you all wet. That’s right….WATER!!!

LBP Water

For the first time in LBP history, water will be a new gameplay element for you to play, and create your own new water-drenched levels for the rest of the community to play. In addition, you’ll have access to tons of new stickers, objects and other create materials plus a bunch of new trophies to collect. Last but not least, is a bonus “Pelegosto” costume only available in this Level Kit. All this for $5.99 – a definite must buy.

  • LBP’s an amazing game, and water does look awesome (though some of it’s limitations are a bit odd, like not quite being able to make waterfalls or pools and stuff like that).

    Still, it’s something I’d gladly pay for. The way water is “faked” in so many levels online is really noticeable, but it’s nice to see that we have actual water now (with actual swimming).

    Maybe the Azure Palace creator could use the water kit to make an “actual” underwater level.

  • Is Play/Create/Share fixed yet?

  • Tinkerbell: DO WANT!

    You did last week say to no lose hope for more levels. You delivered now. But do we have a regular schedule of these new levels? You went 9 month before more levels and told us they were coming. So 9 more months, or a quarterly schedule?

    I’m personally hoping that you were hard at work with Disney characters and could not announce or release levels until you were given the thumbs up and okay from Disney and legal. Now they will flow like wine.

  • Great news!
    Thanks for the crazy update.

    Now the next problem to get to..
    how do i get 5.99$+tax on my psn account w/o charing 10$s lol

  • @52 They finally removed it in the latest patch, I believe. Should have done that a year ago.

  • Two questions, do we get the water create things by playing the levels, or just when buying the pack, and also how large is this file?
    Thanks MM for the continued support!

  • Thank you soooo much for finally rolling out new levels. I’ve been waiting since… last year actually. :P I was in the water beta and it’ll be really interesting to see what the community manages to come up with it!

  • Note to Mm:

    This (level packs such as MGS and PotC) is the (only) kind of DLC I will buy from you. Thanks, keep them coming!

  • Thanks MM. Can’t wait to play the new levels on Tuesday! Also really excited about the Water. I haven’t created a level in awhile, but I think I will once I get my hands on the water. lol. :)

    Also looking forward to the costume pack. Sack Sparrow (hehe) and Davy Jones look the best, but the other costumes are cool too.

    Tuesday is going to be a great day!

  • My girlfriend is amused. That means sold.

  • Finally, definitely buying the level pack. Please keep the level packs coming!

  • @Mark

    ‘but you’ll be able to play user-generated water levels for free – just like the Paintinator levels from the Metal Gear Solid Level Kit.’

    When I enter a level with assets of the MGS pack it says they are not available to me (i.e i’ve never been able to use the paintanator).

    Am I doing something wrong??

  • Will they have music from the actual soundtrack, and also any word if we will be seeing Star Wars costumes to celebrate the new force unleashed?

  • This is awesome!

    Now LBP with a GOW level would be cool :)

  • Nice work MM, great choice. I will definitely be purchasing both the costume pack and the map pack. Thanks again.

  • I don’t see how people can complain about the price. You can use the water etc in other peoples levels for free. (and if anything like MGS also play the levels if you know someone with them.) That is all you really need.

    Although, I will definitely be buying this. It’s great value for the quality you get.

  • OMG deifinitely worth it, love LBP!!!
    any word on the Final Fantasy pack?
    SEPHIROTH!

  • This is too baaaaaaaaad. It is great we can get wet in LBP for free, but creating levels containing water should be free as well. This is an essential core element for the game unlike the paintanator. Too bad there is no separate free download for tools enabling you to create water in your levels.

    Bummer, just bummer.

  • Also, will “He’s a Pirate” from the movies be one of the four themes in the pack?? I love that little epic song.

  • Nice, first day buy for me!!! I really hope that the good sales of this DLC makes think Sony about releasing new levels for the game of First party games (Uncharted, Infamous, etc) as DLC.

    Keep the good work XD

    PS: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FFVII DLC THAT WAS ANNOUNCED IN the 2008 TOKYO GAME SHOW!!!

  • I’ll buy this. It’s been one year since you guys put out DLC i felt was worth paying for (MGS pack)

    I’m sorry,, but $2 is too much for a costume. They should be .99

    They dont provide any gameplay, just a new coat of paint. I’ll pass on the costumes since I already have a pirate costume lol

  • Please tell me this song is included in the patch.. or at least a snippet of it.

    Otherwise i’ll probably pass (lol im serious.. that song IS pirates of the carribbean)

  • Any chance we’ll see a discount for purchasing both together?

  • will the hans zimmer -hes a pirate tune be included?

  • I’d pay a dollar or two for the water patch even, but I shouldn’t have to pay $6 for a bunch of licensed content from a movie I can’t stand just to get what should be a core gameplay element. Boo.

  • Keep em coming MM. It’s refreshing to see such dedication from dev’s. Of course I’ll be purchasing this DLC come the 22nd.

  • This is freaking awesome, I’ve been waiting for this, great job MM and Sony and great idea releasing the Pirates DLC with the Water update, it’s a no brainer, kudos to whoever came up with that one lol, SOLD SOLD SOLD!!! :D

  • @3 CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!

  • Amazing! I will definitely be buying the level pack soon! However I have also been eyeing PJ Shooter and wont have the money for the costumes. :( If you had some sort of bundle for say $10 with water + costumes I would definitely buy it! I’ll go get a PSN $20 card right now!

  • Awesome!!!
    Too bad the costumes and level kit didn’t come into a single pack that would retail for $5.99-$9.99…
    I must have water!!!

  • Yeah!! Finally.. i was waiting for a new level pack like the MGS one for LBP. It is very nice
    Thank you

  • This is the only DLC i will buy i.e LBP Level DLC :P Can’t wait!

  • you could have at least told us that it would cost 6$…..thatll probably be 12$ in AU

  • HELL YES!!!!! I absolutely love Pirates of the Caribbean, and the fact that one of my favourite PS3 games is teaming up with one of my favourite movie trilogies of all time just makes me giddy with joy! Media Molecule, you are amazing!!! And Mark, you have just gained uber brownie points by posting this!

  • Why didnt you tell us it would cost money earlier?

  • FANTASTIC!! THANKS MEDIA MOLECULE!

    Having bundled Water with Pirates of the Caribbean was genius!. I love the movies. I’ll be buying my first DLC which is this one.

    Whoever came up with the idea of the Play, Creat, Share genre is awesome. I’m very excited to try Modnation Racers very soon with the beta. Hopefully there are plans to bring LBP and Modnation Racers together in some way or form (Sackboys driving carts?)

    Hopefully there is much more to come with LittleBigPlanet, I love to play the game. I don’t create levels because of the complexity and lack of time (something hopefully I will be able to do with MNR).

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Great! Please keep them coming! I love to see the levels you guys come up with :D

  • Can’t Wait! Been waiting for a new level kit for a while. In the meantime if anyone wants a fun Christmas gift, try my level “Sackboy Adventures – A Very Sackish Christmas v. 1.0”

    It contains a lot of homemade objects like a Christmas tree with strings of lights and decorations, christmas elevators, yule logs, wishing window (north star), etc.

    Have fun!

  • So the level pack will be sold seperately from the costume pack? Great to see the water update finally launching, and it was always going to be priced. MM and Sony deserve a little something in return from the fans for supporting such a fantastic title up to one year after its launch!

  • Awesome. LOVED the themed MGS levels last Christmas and was really hoping for more this year. I had my hopes built up for it to be Final Fantasy VII, any news when the Cloud & Sephiroth Sackboy’s will be released

  • I don’t like Pirates of the Caribbean at all… but I gotta have that level pack ASAP!

  • PixelJunk Shooter and Pirate of the Caribbean DLC… consider yourselves BOUGHT!

  • cool, now I need to go get a PSN card so I can get these

  • This level kit is a guaranteed buy for me. More LBP Levels + Pirate Theme = No-Brainer. Thanks, guys!

  • @ 45 response, it has been some time since I last tired it, never heard of any updates since then but if there have been as you said, I’ll swing by play n’ trade and give it another shot.

  • I love how the stickers has some new skulls!!

  • Does water come out the same day the the POTC?

  • finally! Something to look forward to in LBP!

    Hey I have a question about the squid man costume, does he have his own happy/sad etc, emotion animations?? That would be cool.

    Also, please you guys need to understand, you dont need to release a new tool (water, paintgun) just to release new level packs. You can release level packs without new tools and everyone will love it! Honestly the only thing I buy and probably the majority of LBP gamers is the level packs.

    PLEASE release more so I can happily hand over my money to you!
