Twelve months,
one million community levels, and a
PSP spin-off later, some are wondering if it's time for Media Molecule to begin working on an honest-to-goodness sequel to PS3 platformer
LittleBigPlanet. The answer seems to be a very clear

LBP with additional downloadable content. "I think what you've seen so far from
LittleBigPlanet, that's the way it's going to continue." said producer Martin Lynagh. We already know of two major patches:
water and support for the
PlayStation Motion Controller. However, Lynagh explains that there's much more to expect, especially in 2010. "We have a lot of stuff coming out, especially next year. We can't really talk about specifics for a lot of it at the moment, because a lot of it hasn't been announced."
