Bye Bye Sackboy? Updated! 3/7/11


Sackboy is going to be an orphan as creators of LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule reveal that their work on it is over. (UPDATE: Be sure to check the bottom of the post for an update)



Thats right everyone, Media Molecule has revealed that they ain't going to work more on LBP. This comes from a tweet from Edge that the studio told the audience at Barcelona GameLab 2011 the following:
“We’re stepping away from Little Big Planet to focus on some new ideas.” Siobhan Reddy, Media Molecule
Source: Edge Twitter

But it's not all bad news as LBP already got developed by other companies such as Sony Cambridge Studio (PSP version), Double 11 and Tarsier Studios (Current PS Vita game), so this won't be the last time we will see the sackboys prancing around and slapping everyone around, it will possibly be the last time you see it coming from Media Molecule though.

Edit 3/7/11: After the tweet of mediamolecule about stepping away, Codey47, informed us about another tweet that we missed!

Loyal sackfolk - please be reassured that we will always be involved with LBP, at least a bit, and there's lots more fun yet to come! <3

So Sackboy will not be left for other companies as MediaMolecule  will continue to possibly give advise or be a consultant. We will see on the future how this folds out.

Thanks Codey47!

    ...on second thought might as well play it safe and weep now.
