LittleBigPlanet 2, commonly abbreviated LBP2, is an upcoming, 2010 puzzle video game centered around user-generated content. The game is developed by Media Molecule and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for the PlayStation 3 console and will be released in November 2010. Players continue Sackboy’s journey after the events of the first game and the portable version. An inter-dimensional vacuum cleaner appears over the skies of LittleBigPlanet and begins to suck up its inhabitants, including Sackboy. Larry Da Vinci, the leader of a secret organization known as “The Alliance”, comes to Sackboy’s rescue saving him from what they call “The Negativitron.” The organization is dedicated to battling with “The Negativitron” and defeating it before it destroys Craftworld.

Aside from many new additions in regular gameplay, the online community of the game will also be improved with the upcoming LBP.me website. From there, players may synchronize with their PlayStation Network IDs in order to check statistics on their own levels, as well as find new levels from the community, where they can queue them for automatic download when their PlayStation 3 is next online. Further to the official community website, improved API features mean that scoreboards and photos taken within the game can be displayed on a player’s website or blog; website owners may also use the API to add live feeds and data from the game itself. Most of the more than 2 million levels created by users in the first game will carry-over and be playable and editable in LittleBigPlanet 2.
