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!

I really hope that is true. That will make this one that much better. Thanks for the info. I will have to keep an eye out for more info on this game.
Holy Moly Mother Teresa!!!
That was an incredible trailer. Good job. The steps taken with this sequel look like an incredible revolution from the first. Its like taking everything from the first and making it 10x’s better, and I didn’t even think that was possible!
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
Counter-productive my ass! Great trailer. I’ll have to get back into the first one as well :)
LAME!

EPIC!
I loved the first LBP, it was a new genre in gaming and is enjoyable for everyone.. I really cant wait for the LBP 2. Thx, Media Molecule!
YAY!
LittleBigPlanet was my Christmas Present for 2008! =D
And so LittleBigPlanet 2! will HAVE TO BE my Christmas Present for 2010! XD
YEPEEEEE! =P
Wait-To-Go Media Molecule!

This brought tears to my eyes!! Cant wait to see what people do with this.
For some reason I felt tears were about to be shed from my eyes.

Well I’m buying this.
THAT MUSIC IS SO AWSOME!!!! WHAT’S IT CALLED?
oh yeah and the game looks good too…… : )
Man,I just can’t wait for this to come out!
Sackboy with what looks like 3D glasses at 1:07.
Possible 3D support???
Wow. This looks amazing. When I first heard about it i thought it would look like/do exactly the same stuff LBP did, but this looks like alot more. Can’t wait to hear more.
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait…but are the servers 2 the 1st one gonna be there? cuz….welll yea
Amazing trailer MM, I can’t wait to see the final product
This could possible be…THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAME ENTERTAINMENT…
Oh dam! THIS and Modnation Racers! I’m gonna have a heart attack!
Why must you do this to me MediaMolecule! WHY!?!
:DDD I’M SO EXCITED. I love LBP, it so cute and the 2nd one looks even more cute. &Passion Pit was the perfect choice, it’ll be super awesome if their music is in the game too.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!! xDDD I can’t wait till this game comes out! It looks like it may be the best game evar made!
ouch my ears…I hope LBP2 has other songs in it.
Can’t Wait!! xD
This looks awesome. Will there be any cross-talk between lbp psp and lbp2?
i just hope that there is some big tutorials in that game cous i suck at making levels lol love the game
LBP was amazing and from what i read this game looks like it will be a completely new game worth the sequel. This is definitely going to win GOTY. i remember when i first heard of LBP i was intrigued but confused at how this “child’s game” could be so good bought it anyways played it loved it, started playing it with a few friends who were like this game is gonna suck and next thing they know we’re playing it for 6 hours till 2 am … Thanks MM and take all the time you need it’s not like it’s possible to ever get bored of the original
A W E S O M E! This is the announcement of the year! I have one request however! The only thing that drives me crazy about LBP is that items in my Popit disappear when it gets full. Isn’t there some way for you to use up whatever space is still available on the drive? In other words, make the popit only restricted by drive space.

P.S. Everyone needs a sackboy in the house. Knit your own

24-bit and/or losslessly compressed audio? 1080p native video?
More importantly, a more achievable platinum trophy?
Can’t wait to try the Move support with local co-op play!
this is awesome! cant wait
what is the song?
did anyone else almost cry while watching this trailer?
can’t wait for this one to come out yeah
Dreams Come True
Will our characters and such from the original LBP be transferred into the second one? I know you said the levels will be, but will that also include other elements, such as the characters and clothing?
That was the best trailer I have EVER seen!!
But I have one really really big issue with this.. When you guys first announced LBP I was obsessed.. I had to track down every single video I could find, I searched the bowels of the interwebs scouring everywhere for any video possible!!
I am worried this will happen again..
that trailer was epic beyond all reason
This does start to explain the lack of level kits for LBP. It seems a bit hard to work on two games at once.
I think I’m going to have a heart attack. I could not have possibly imagined LBP getting any better. This trailer has totally blown my mind. My other games are going to jealous. I already play LBP more than any other game I own.
