We’re labelling this one a rumour for the moment, but we thought you’d like to hear about it just the same. BBC Online is reporting that a sequel to the wildly acclaimed PlayStation 3 social platformer LittleBigPlanet is underway. Thanks to TheSixthAxis for the heads-up.
The key sentence comes around halfway down the page: "Even before the game has hit the shops, the team are already at work on a sequel." The absence of further elaboration or fanfare is suspicious – we suspect a retraction will be forthcoming in the not-too-distant future.
On the other hand, some kind of LittleBigPlanet follow-up – if only in spirit – seems inevitable given the hysteria Media Molecule’s breakthrough exclusive has attracted thus far. We’re just not sure this is it.
Assuming the BBC is talking gospel truth, however – what would you add to LittleBigPlanet? Fire all suggestions into the comments thread below.
