Dropping alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5,Sackboy: A Big Adventurewill see the resurgence ofLittleBigPlanet’sseminal mascot, Sack Boy, for the first time sinceLittleBigPlanet3in 2014. Unlike Media Molecule’s take on the character, however,A Big Adventurewill see the adorable icon stray into a more conventional platformer world, as he switches out the 2D realm for a 3D focus.
It will also see a bigger focus on story than theLittleBigPlanetfranchise ever did, which is highlighted better than ever in the most recent trailer for the upcomingPlayStation 5 launch game.
