Rumour: LBP 2 may be delayed to next year [update 2]

Posted by Syroc on Sep 22 In LBP2, News | 42 Comments

Update 2:
It’s official. LBP 2 has been pushed back to January 2011. See this post for all the information.

Update:

It has just been pointed out to us that the Japanese release date is now 2011. Previously the official Japanese LittleBigPlanet 2 website stated that it would be released in November in Japan as well. So it may be that the delay PS3gen is referring to concerns only the Japanese market. We will just have to wait and see.

Original story:

French gaming website PS3Gen.fr reports that LittleBigPlanet 2 may be delayed until next year. As you can see by the quote below an internal source has apparently told them that we won’t see LBP 2 before 2011.

Mais une source interne vient nous annoncer que le jeu serait repoussé à l’année prochaine

At the moment this is of course just a rumour, but it wouldn’t be the first time a game is delayed. In any case let us hope it is not true.

    • jack

      It most likely to be true because if ever1 read the other post on other LBP sites it said MM was impressed with some of the european lbp2 beta testers and they are going to add some more surprises to the game so it might be there adding more tools and or stuff for the PSMove

  • Limbo

    I woudnt be suprised if this was true :(
    no word on the EU collectors edition and the US beta didnt started yet, this can be signs that they cant get the game ready this winter and we have to wait till 2011. I hope it’s not true but i am afraid it is

  • JoshSlesser

    this can not be true :(

  • Killer_sackman

    I really, really, really hope that it doesn’t come out in 2011. I don’t think it will though, ’cause they’ve already allowed people to talk about the BETA.

  • jack

    i pre ordered collectors edition as well and its not going to be true because MM is a powerful company and hell they made all 4 of the marvel packs come out so fast so……. from jack its a lie to get us 2 pressure buy the game then tell us its not after a while this rumor will be gone

    • mrmarc1996

      i really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, hope your right.

      this game is big in USA if it were delayed we would have allot of complains.

  • Anonymous

    No… they can’t release it next year, Mm know that we are already exploding with anticipation. To move the release date would sure be a stupid move…

    • SpikeStarkey

      right, cause shipping the game overseas to the states, takes less time than releasing it there in the UK

    • Anonymous

      Yeah, but that’s the latest information. :)

  • Cannibal_maggot_4

  • Lylessmallfry

    hey lbp is playstation only so playstation would have it on there site and it says 2010

  • Unknown_user 803-092

    Little big planet and MM have a contract they have to sign before they give out the preorders that states that once the preorders are made the release date is set in stone. If any problems occure after the preorders are made that gives the purchasers a legal right to sue.

    It sounds messed up but I called 5 different game stores and contacted game faqs as well and they all stated the same thing in their own words. No worries.

    • rayz0r1216

      is that why gamestop says lbp 2 11/16/10?
