A LittleBigPlanet spin-off called Sackboyâs Prehistoric Moves will be out this December for download to the PlayStation 3. Itâs multiplayer-only, requires a Move controller and⊠itâs not clear if youâll have to pay for it.
Sonyâs PlayStation blog shares the details of what essentially is a 10-level co-op mission pack set in prehistoric times and full of dinosaurs. Hereâs some official hype: âPut on your bear skins and grab up to four friends to navigate the tough terrain of the tropical jungle dodging erupting volcanoes and other environmental hazards standing in your way.â
Up to four players will control versions of LBP hero Sackboy using standard PS3 controllers. The other will use a PlayStation Move wand to flick switches and trigger platforms to aid each Sackboy along. The game goes on sale on December 14, for $6, but not for everyone. PlayStation Plus subscribers get it for free a week earlier. Other âthousands LittleBigPlanet supportersâ will also get the game for free, but how and when, Sony hasnât said yet. And if you buy LBP2 in January when it comes out? You get it on the disc, suggesting that maybe this game is what those Move-only LittleBigPlanet 2 levels were all along.
Thatâs the new spin-off. As for LittleBigPlanet 2 itself, a demo for the game will be out on the PlayStation 3 next month for download.
