The goal, as with other games in the series, is to inspire the LBP community to keep creating new content. “Whenever we try out new features, it’s always with the community in mind,” O’Connor said. “They get access to exactly the same tools that we use to make the game.”

The new characters will allow for local and online multiplayer, and there’ll be interactive tutorials–voiced by Stephen Fry–to guide players through the content creation tools. In addition, all 8.5 million levels created by the community from LBP 1 and LBP 2 will be available, retouched, and upgraded for the PS4.
“LBP is very physical,” O’Connor says. “People usually need very little explanation when they start playing. They just get it.”
LittleBigPlanet 3 is out on PlayStation 4 this November.
