LittleBigPlanet 2 is the second main installment in the LittleBigPlanet series, and the third game in the series overall, after the first game and LittleBigPlanet PSP. It was developed by Media Molecule, with assistance from other developers, and was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It released on January 18th, 2011 in North America for the
PlayStation 3.
LittleBigPlanet 2 began development sometime after the release of the original LittleBigPlanet. It was announced in May of 2010, and plenty of early pre-release footage has released since. From the trailers, to footage shown at certain games conventions, and everything in between, the game has gone under a lot of changes. The final game also has an early revision of the story mode being voiced by the game's developers hidden in the files, among many other pieces of cut content.
