Important news regarding the release date of LittleBigPlanet™2

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 of 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.

Well at least they aren't making any unnecessary jokes...
'We are a tight-knit team'

Take it from me though guys, the main thing they're going to be working on is backwards compatibility. The Beta & Gamma fight is broken on my Comic Calamity level when played on LBP2 Beta. There are still lots of things to do.

Though I am curious as to what they mean by a 'taste of LBP2' could it be... a DEMO??!?!? (Just speculation people)

Moved I would post my personal comments but honestly, I've said enough on the actual site & on Twitter by now. Although ultimately, it may be for the better, I am a bit devastated and very depressed by this news
