LittleBigPlanet 2 Pushed Back to 2011
Options
Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet 2 is being pushed back to the January 2011, Sony has confirmed. In an official statement on the PlayStation blog, Media Molecule said it was "truly sorry" for the slip and explained that the reason for the delay was "to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve."
LittleBigPlanet's no stranger to delays – 2008's debut instalment was pushed back thanks to some unwitting controversy stemming from its soundtrack choices.
Already LittleBigPlanet 2 is looking hugely ambitious, extending its scope beyond platforming and so far astounded every time we've seen it. It's sure to be worth the wait.
Here's Media Molecule's statement in full:
"LittleBigPlanet 2 is a crazy dream, a dream to allow players to make whatever kind of game they want, but also to play though a great adventure of drama and excitement, power-ups and cinematics. But like all the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in fun games. 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.
Thanks for your continued love and support, it won't be long – we promise.
Lots of love from all at Mm."

I agree with you. They should have dropped it mid to late December, in time for Christmas.
Then again, February isn't bad considering the early year drought.
Plus, LBP isn't a game that I anticipate will sell record numbers. It's not for everybody. It has its fans and people that loved the first one will buy the 2nd one. -
This sucks!
I was playing LBP last night and damn they have water now you can swim in? I haven't played LBP in a long time and when I got on ? was hella fun again and now there's water, I'm like wtf!
? was mad fun though, there's a 50 Jump level and I can't even get past the 11th lol -
