As you may have heard today, Media Molecule shared some news regarding the release date of LittleBigPlanet 2. Obviously this is a big blow to our LittleBigPlanet fans, but we’re sure you’ll understand our decision. As we focus on a 2011 release for our North American, Canadian, and Latin America consumers, we look forward to releasing LittleBigPlanet 2 on January 18th, 2011. Please keep an eye out for more game details and updates as we move closer to our launch.
Here is the statement from Media Molecule:
LittleBigPlanet 2 is a crazy dream, a dream to allow players to make whatever kind of game they want, but also to play though a great adventure of drama and excitement, power-ups, and cinematics. But like all of the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in fun games. We’ve all been working like powered-up space ninjas and we’re almost there, but because we love what we’ve made, and we love our little sack-friends, and most of all we love all our fans out there, we couldn’t let you all get together until we knew we were giving you the best experience imaginable. Which is why we’ve taken the hard decision to delay the worldwide release of LittleBigPlanet 2, originally slated for later this year to January 2011.
We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too. We are a tight-knit team and we take enormous pride in our work, so to raise the bar we’ve set with the original LittleBigPlanet, a game that has been so embraced by all, we’ve agreed to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve. We are truly sorry, but hope you understand that we have to build the best possible game, as it is the foundation of our community.
On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned.
Thanks for your continued love and support, it won’t be long – we promise.
Lots of love from all at Mm

This is awesome news. Saves me $80. Now I can buy Black Ops for Xbox360
counting down the milliseconds…
Christmas is officially RUINED..
@#3 “Now I can buy Black Ops for Xbox360” GTFO of here troll
Why would anyone want Black Ops over this game DMPrince? Forget that. This is lousy news. I hope we at least get a demo and can make levels with that. This is one of the few games I’m buying this fall. I sure hope they don’t delay GT5 too.
I can’t say I’m happy for the news. I heard about it earlier this year and have to say, I am greatly saddened. But that’s normal for video games these days, right?
I only wish there was never a street date associated with it to begin with, maybe then I would have saved my money instead of preordering a game that I probably now will never get to play.
LBP 2 was one of my most highly anticipated games for this year and now, chances are, I probably will never get to play it. (No I’m not being over dramatic, I say I wont for good reasons… *tear*). At the very least, those of you who do get to play it probably will enjoy it more as they are taking more time to perfect it.
AND THIS WAS THE ONE AND ONLY GAME I HAVE EVER PREORDERED A COLLECTORS EDITION FOR! >=(
Well, hopefully we will hear some good news later if that is possible… (pssh and I probably wont even be invited to the beta…..)
January will be here before you know it and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
