There has recently been speculation about a potential remaster of the iconic PlayStation 3 game LittleBigPlanet, after an unexpected listing appeared on IMDb for a “LittleBigPlanet Remastered” featuring PlayStation 5 box art. Originally launched in 2008, LittleBigPlanet quickly became a beloved title, generating two sequels and propelling its character, Sackboy, to mascot status for the PlayStation brand. However, the franchise has seen a decline since the release of LittleBigPlanet 3 in 2014, with its servers shutting down last year and the game being removed from the PlayStation Store.
Despite the excitement surrounding the IMDb listing, many believe it may not portend a new chapter for the LittleBigPlanet series. The ease of creating pages on IMDb raises doubts, as it allows users to generate content that may not represent official announcements. It is suggested that this listing might be an instance of someone having fun rather than a genuine leak of a remaster.
Though the community would welcome a revival of LittleBigPlanet, there is skepticism about whether Sony would debut such news in an unofficial capacity on a site like IMDb. While this may not be the hopeful resurgence fans have been waiting for, the interest it has generated highlights the lasting legacy of LittleBigPlanet and its memorable characters, leaving room for potential future developments.
