This morning Media Molecule, the UK based developer responsible for Little Big Planet revealed on their website that LBP 2 will be delayed to January 2011. The studio explained that they want to create the best product possible and in order to do that Media Molecule will take an extra couple of months.

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.
