The release dates for LittleBigPlanet 2 have been revealed – January 18th for North America, January 19th for Europe, January 20th for Australia and New Zealand and January 21st for the UK and Ireland. The date marks an important time in the PlayStation brand’s release calendar, with the franchise being one of the most critically successful in the PS3 first party lineup. Its delay, which resulted in it missing a holiday release, accentuated the arguably lacklustre selection of games exclusive to the PS3 this Christmas.
The team even made a quick card that can be printed out and placed under any would-be-buyers’ christmas tree, stating ‘I bought you LittleBigPlanet 2, and it’s coming on January 18th, but here’s a card for you to open now!’, pleasantly conforming to the quirky LittleBigPlanet brand of humour.
Also, a demo is now available for download on the US and UK PSN Stores.
