SackBoy’s turned to the darkside.
Sony is gearing up for the release of Little Big Planet 3 on the PS4 and PS3 and to help promote the game they’ve announced a handheld companion game.
The game in question is Run SackBoy! Run!, and will be releasing on the PS Vita as well as iOS and Android devices.
Here’s a quick description of the game, as written by XDev Europe’s Tom O’Conner:
“The Negativitron (that big nasty vacuum cleaner who sucks up all the creativity) is back, wreaking havoc on Craftworld and nipping at the heels of our very own Sackboy! Using simple tap and swipe gestures, you’ll speed through three iconic worlds from the LittleBigPlanet series — The Gardens, The Canyons, and Avalonia — evading danger for as long you can. Anyone can enjoy the game, but as Sackboy charges along at top speed, you’re going to need super-quick reactions to keep him on course and out of trouble.”
Run SackBoy! Run! will be free-to-play and is essentially another endless runner. That’s not a bad thing of course, for mobile devices, but surely the PS Vita deserves more than another mobile phone game? It really does look like Sony have given up with the Vita…
Run SackBoy! Run will release on PS Vita, iOS and Android sometime in October along with Little Big Planet 3.
If you’re not interested in another endless runner and instead want to play a real game, we implore you to check out Little Big Planet for the PS Vita.
