LittleBigPlanet adds new costumes at a regular pace, whether it's Halloween or not. But as the annual costuming day approaches, Sackboy is getting some duds inspired by the classic Nightmare Before Christmas, and level kits to boot.
Sony announced LittleBigPlanet Hub today, a free-to-play version of the creation-platforming game coming to PlayStation 3 later this year.
Hub offers the the first worlds from both LBP and LBP2, and a brand new exclusive level to play through. However, the meat of the experience is through creation. The entire "Create" mode of the original game, with players being able to buy additional content through the PlayStation Store. Given the amount of DLC available for LBP, it's not too surprising to see how a F2P version would work.
Tearaway for Vita is the next game from Media Molecule, creators of LittleBigPlanet. So the Powers that Be at Sony Marketing knew that it was time to unleash their most powerful weapon: synergy.
Later today, the PlayStation Store will be updated with a special "Tearaway Competition Pack" for LittleBigPlanet 2 for PS3 and LittleBigPlanet Vita. The free add-on will add a music track from Tearaway, as well as stickers from Media Molecule's new world.
LittleBigPlanet 2 continues to get less little. Sony's platformer is getting yet another significant expansion next week: the Cross-Controller Pack, which introduces Wii U-esque gameplay via Vita.
With the Cross-Controller feature, you'll be able to take advantage of all sorts of second screen gameplay. The DLC will be available next week for $4.99 and requires a PS3, a PS Vita, and a copy of LittleBigPlanet 2. (Don't worry, you don't need a copy of LittleBigPlanet Vita.)
The LittleBigPlanet series has gotten quite a bit of downloadable content, if you count the various costume packs. With two new LBP games on the way, the powers that be have figured out a way to make sure any DLC you've paid for will continue working.
Any costumes you've bought for the first two LittleBigPlanet games can be imported for free into LittleBigPlanet Vita or LittleBigPlanet Karting. Plus, from now on your costume purchases will all be counted across LBP2, Vita, and Karting.

Sackboy is changing into his summer threads with a new bit of free LittleBigPlanet 2 downloadable content. The "Summer Creator's Kit" has launched, and it's available for free. However, you should nab it while you can, because it's only available for a week.
Update - Full June games line-up added.
At Sony's E3 press briefing today, the company announced plans to expand PlayStation Plus into a rotating selection of full retail games. The company has been offering discounts and 60-minute trials of full game downloads through Plus, but starting tomorrow it will be adding full games as free bonuses to boot.
The epic Journey has made an impression on a lot of gamers. Among those fans are the developers of LittleBigPlanet 2. In a tribute that thatgamecompany's popular title, Sackboy will be sporting some new togs next month.
The Muppets are next to join the elite rank of official LittleBigPlanet expansion pack adaptee, following the revered footsteps of Metal Gear Solid and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The "Muppets Premium Level Kit" for LittleBigPlanet 2 will be available this week on the PlayStation Store for $5.99, and it will add new levels, music, materials, backgrounds, sound effects, objects, decorations, stickers, and costumes to the game. The expansion pack also adds new gadgets that allow Sackboy to walk on walls.
It's been one year since the launch of LittleBigPlanet 2, and the community is still very actively making new levels. Developer Media Molecule has announced that within a year's time, the community has created 2.5 million more levels, bumping up the total amount of user-created levels to a whopping six million.
"6 Million levels!," the announcement reads. "You are amazing! <3"
LittleBigPlanet 2 is the quintessential sequel. It is, in every way, a bigger, better, and yes, more badass game than its predecessor. LBP2 does more than offer "more of the same." Given the original's infinite expandability offered by the UGC community, it's no wonder Media Molecule attempted something drastically different for the sequel.

Like its predecessor, LittleBigPlanet 2 is getting a re-release of its own. Dropping the "Game of the Year" moniker as the first game, LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition is a full-priced retail game that includes $35 worth of DLC content on-disc.
Rise of the Cakeling, Media Molecule's biggest expansion for the LBP universe, takes center stage. This PlayStation Move-enabled adventure adds 5 new levels and new creation tools that take advantage of Sony's motion controller. In addition, the Special Edition includes the Toy Story Level and Costume packs, and Pets costumes.
If LittleBigPlanet 2 slipped under your radar earlier this year, you might want to give it another look. Sony announced today that the price is being officially dropped to $39.99, just as the game adds PlayStation Move controller support and prepares for next week's big "Rise of the Cakeling" DLC.
Shacknews receives a slew of new screenshots and trailers for upcoming games everyday. The most anticipated titles receive their own post, because we know you're eager to see that content. For the rest, we have the Daily Filter, a place to feature all of the media we add to our enormous database on a daily basis.
Today's Filter features a new Gamescom 2011 trailer for LittleBigPlanet 2, a PvP trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic, an Ubisoft developer panel at Gamescom 2011, a demo walkthrough of Dark Souls, two inside looks at the brand new PlayStation Vita, four new background trailers for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, a multiplayer sneak peek at Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, a cinematic trailer for Might & Magic Heroes VI, a new look at the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection, a PAX Prime 2011 Blacklight: Retribution trailer, and new screenshots for Tribes: Ascend, Prototype 2, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, X-Men: Destiny, and The Baconing.
Media Molecule is planning on "stepping away" from the LittleBigPlanet franchise to work on something new. But before it does, it has to release the Move Pack for LittleBigPlanet 2. The developer describes it as the franchise's "biggest Downloadable Content pack to date," and it's hard to argue with that.
The Move Pack includes a new story mode, entitled "The Rise of the Cakeling," and a new set of tools that allow you to create your own Move games. But what else is in the DLC pack?
Weekend Confirmed 194 - Gran Turismo 6, Tearaway
