Sony: LittleBigPlanet is potentially our biggest 2008 release

How big of a hit will LittleBigPlanet be when it comes out? According to a senior product manager at Sony Europe, it’s “potentially our biggest Blu-ray release of 2008.” As if we weren’t brimming with enough anticipation as it is. More in the full article.

If you’re looking for another reason to look forward to Sony‘s LittleBigPlanet, Nick Robinson is happy to provide it. Robinson is a senior product manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, and most likely a LittleBigPlanet fan from the sound of it.

Talking to Eurogamer, Robinson remarks that LittleBigPlanet is “potentially our biggest Blu-ray release of 2008.” As if we weren’t brimming with enough anticipation for the game, which, if rumors are to be believed, is already in its closed beta stage.

However, he wasn’t done yet, as he adds that: “This isn’t a Warhawk or a Tekken: Dark Resurrection. This is a triple-A Blu-ray title.” That’s saying something, if he’s willing to pit its popularity against two established titles on PSN.

Robinson shares that Sony is confident of the game’s success because of all the anticipation and positive feedback. One new detail he shared: the game will have a “very substantial offline story mode” for those who are less interested in its community and content-creation features.

LittleBigPlanet is slated for a release this September. We’ll keep you posted, so check back for updates.
