This author often feels like the only person in the world that actually enjoyed LittleBigPlanet 3 – but we suppose that the sequel did get lost in last year's holiday shuffle a little. Fortunately, the whimsical affair will be getting something of a miniature revival next month, as Sony drops the game's first major expansion, The Journey Home, onto the PlayStation Store.
According to a PlayStation Blog about the add-on, the content will "chronicle the next exciting chapter for Sackboy, Oddsock, Toggle, and Swoop" as they take a grand detour around LittleBigPlanet during their journey back to Craftworld. The pack will feature brand new levels based upon several popular themes from LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2. Count us in.
The studio's also promising some "cranium busting co-op challenges for Sackboy, a bouncy new power-up for Oddsock, and a goodie bag full of new creative assets to decorate your own little corner of LittleBigPlanet with". Perhaps in an effort to up its dwindling playerbase, the developer's eager to point out that it's been quietly updating the core game since you so rudely put it back on your shelf.
And just to keep you sweet, the firm's also got some free costumes in the pipeline, which will be available as part of this week's PlayStation Store update. The outfits are based upon the various teams that have contributed to the project, and include a sumo wrestler and a station master. Get 'em while they're hot, etc.

But did they FIX IT? I still can't create anything or get past the level w/ the collapsing bridge. What good does an expansion do for me if they don't fix whats broken?!?!?!
I don't know if I careuc anymore about LBP3... There's too many other awesome games out to play.
i was the HUGEST lbp fan but i almost hate 3. even if it waasnt riddled with bugs i just hate the changes made. mosst of the time i found myself just wandering around not knowing where to go or what to do. eventually i just didnt care which is really sad because as i mentioned i was obsessed with the 1 and 2.
I really do love LittleBigPlanet 3 (seeing as how I have thousands of hours logged into the entire series) and I enjoyed the charming short campaign. My only real complaint was how little Oddsock, Toggle and Swoop were utilized. 1 level each plus one compilation level just isn't enough. I'd love to see an expansion focusing specifically on them (perhaps to rescue the sackboy?) because they were quite fun to play as. :3
Well, this will add some more levels to play, but this game was relatively too short on the campaign. Still, it was a fun game, and it gives the developers something new to work with in part 4, and adding new characters...I thought...was a good idea to keep the series going.
@Azikira Lets hope they include more of those toggle/oddsock/swoop levels.
I do like LBP3 but no where near as much as 1 & 2 shame...
