Well, it’s official…After a week full of rumors and speculation, the Sony PlayStation Blog today has announced the winter release of LittleBigPlanet 2. Here’s a description from the announcement post by Sony’s Eric Levine:
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!
Nice! Oh, and the man ain’t lying…I was at the announcement event in London last week and there will be PLENTY more coverage hitting the web soon that will detail just how ambitious LBP2 really is. Kicking things off is this trailer which showcases the features you can expect along with some insight into the ongoing community supoort.
So, what do you all think about LittleBigPlanet 2??? Feel free to create and share some comments below.

If this editor really works as described, ladies and gentleman, we have the best game ever made here.
What game is better than a game that gives you tools to make your own game? Yeah, exactly, you cant argue with that!
I agree with Bobafet, as long as the editor works as they say (or if they make it even better!) then this is going to be a pretty awesome game. I like seeing what people can make with LBP and I’m supper stoked to see what amazing things people make with this new game.
