LittleBigPlanet PS Vita will be hitting Europe on September 19, while its North American launch is planned for September 25, 2012, confirmed Sony yesterday. This new entrant to the extremely revered LBP series is being jointly developed for the handheld by Double Eleven, Tarsier Studios and XDev.
A brand new video detailing the various aspects of the game has been released by the developers, and can be spotted in the space below. It reveals that the title’s story will be seen transpiring on a whole new traveling planet of Carnivalia which is known to spread joy and laughter throughout the omniverse. But this has changed for the worse, and a mysterious figure called the Puppeteer has brought chaos upon it.
“Thanks to PS Vita’s unique features, you’ll be able to play completely new game experiences and share your levels with the world wherever you are and whenever you feel like it. You can take pictures of anything you see while you’re out and about, and use them to decorate Sackboy or customize your level. It’s never been easier to make your cat or dog the hero of your level!” stated Simon Rosenkotter, Community Coordinator, Tarsier Studios, via a post on the official PlayStation blog.
First announced in January last year, this game is all set to become the fourth main addition to the LBP puzzle platformer franchise. Gamers who pre-order it now will receive free download codes of special BioShock and Knights of Old costumes for the title. LBP Karting is another game in the series which is slated to release later this year for the PS3.
As mentioned above, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita will be launched for the handheld in Europe on September 19, while in North America, it will be out on September 25.
