Whether a Sony brand manager accidentally announced "LittleBigPlanet 2" in Dutch or not, a musician named Ochre seems to be convinced that the sequel exists — and that he has licensed music to be used in that sequel. The artist, whose real named is listed on Twitter as Christopher Leary, reportedly mentioned "LB2" in his feed Friday, but later erased the post.
"Pleased to announce the licensing of 'Infotain Me' to Sony for Little Big Planet 2 on PS3," Leary said in his tweet, which was screen-capped by IGN. Sony responded by refusing to "comment on rumors and speculation," but the events appear to indicate that either there is a "LBP2" in active development or Ochre licensed some music to a game he understood to be "LBP2."
Ever since some "LBP" gameplay showed up in Sony's initial Move presentation at GDC this year, there's been speculation that a full-on second game might be in development.
Leary's tweet certainly doesn't qualify as an official reveal, but at the very least it means that some people out there believe they've contributed to a game called "LBP2." If they really are, perhaps they'll be vindicated at E3 in June.
Do you think "LPB2" is for real at this point? Do you want to see a sequel come out to coincide with the PlayStation Move? Share your reactions in the comment section below.
