Fans of LittleBigPlanet have routinely been asking for one major addition to the game – water. Your requests have been filled as Media Molecule announced today that water will be added to the game in a future update.

It will be exciting to see how water is incorporated into the game. Will sack people have to wear underwater breathing gear, or will you get unlimited time under water? Jumping out of water will likely be a chore, but jumping in will probably offer a great deal of joy.

Check out this video trailer from Media Molecule, and get ready for water, coming soon to LBP.

    Excellent a much wanted feature, that after initial rumours/doubt has come through. Well done MM I put you up with the great GG and Criterion for your post DLC. That is what I want a developer that will stick with their game for a good number of years and then release a sequel.

    Looks great, Reminds me alot of the old sonic games after seeing the breathing countdown on sackboy at 0:46. So its pretty obvious the diving gear is a new tool for unlimited breathing :)

    i wonder if you can turn the water into a hazzard by making a electric plate and put it in water.

    If they make some new levels to accompany this, I'm going to go out and re-purchase LittleBigPlanet immediately.

    how long can a sackboy live without water? coolness

  35. Bigdoggy | Gypscrew

    • 5:38am BST - August 19th, 2009

    Yippy, maybe if they fix the lag issues with the game it will be playable for more people.  Whatever, I suggest they fix their servers before adding stuff in.  Because if this, I highly doubt they will ever fix them, what a crock.

    It would be nice to make a nice level with under water theme.
