As reported earlier, the development of LittleBigPlanet 2 was completed and the game was declared to be released in January 2011. Now according to the official PlayStation blog, the game’s developer has announced that a demo of LittleBigPlanet is open for access on the PSN. This playable preview will give a taste of the new Story Mode levels and a few brand new gameplay types that will enable players to create new side-scrolling arenas.
For the ones previously disappointed with the game’s release shifting behind to a later date, this demo will allow them to experience the swinging good fun of the Grapple Hook and rescue helplessly adorable Sackbots. Moreover, it will also let players witness the chaotic multiplayer which is said to ‘blow up’ when competitive scoring mode is combined with Creatinators armed with rockets.
Amassing a little over of 2 gigabyte in space, the LittleBigPlanet 2 Story Mode demo includes Avalon’s Advanced Armaments Academy, Tower of Whoop and Rocket Funland levels. Three trailers spotlighting primary features of LBP2 are also bundled within the downloadable package for players to have a glimpse of what they could expect from the final product.
The LBP2 Demo can be downloaded at no cost from PSN, whereas the full version of LittleBigPlanet 2 is set for a January 18 release in North America and January 19 throughout Continental Europe. Players in Australia and New Zealand will be able to grab a retail copy on January 20, while the game will hit store-shelves across Ireland and the United Kingdom on January 21, 2011.
