The wait for Sony Computer Entertainment's LittleBigPlanet is almost over, with confirmation today that the PlayStation 3 exclusive is to be released in the UK on October 24, 2008.
Developed by Guildord-based Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet combines traditional platform gameplay with a social community that encourages user generated content. Players can literally build their own game, from basic character customisation to fully realised levels which can then be shared with the rest of the community - the final part of LittleBigPlanet's Play, Create, Share message.
Earlier reports of an October 20 release date are false, with Sony confirming that the date issued was an error.
