Our take: Restitched could fill the LBP-shaped hole left in the market

LittleBigPlanet 3 was officially delisted this year

The original Little Big Planet, developed by Media Molecule, it was released in 2008 as a launch title for the PlayStation 3 and has since received several sequels and spinoffs. The title starred the charming canvas critter Sackboy, as he continued adventures with friends in side-scrolling platform levels with an emphasis on creativity and self-expression.

After 10 years of live service, Little Big Planet 3 and all of its DLC was officially removed from the PlayStation Store in October. LittleBigPlanet may now have reached the end of its era, but Restitched appears poised to continue exactly where the popular LBP franchise stopped. Judging by the first look at the state of Resewn, the team appears to be building a strong candidate to be the spiritual successor to LBP 3.

It's clear from the way the team interacts with the community that this is a project by the player and for the players. As the trailer description states, Restitched is destined to be”a unique love letter to the user-generated content (UGC) genre and our many incredible experiences within it.“For those who miss the playful and creative space that Little Big Planet offered, Restitched It could be a title to keep an eye on.
