Media Molecule has announced that LittleBigPlanet 2 has been delayed from its holiday release this year and pushed back until January, 2011.
This is actually a bit shocking, as Sony could really use a win right now and this is just one less feather in their already featherless cap.
From Media Molecule: “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.”
Oh well Sony fans, you still have Kung Fu Riders!
