All the rumors are true. Media Molecule has released a statement via the Little Big Planet  website confirming the worldwide delay of LBP2.

We’ve all been working like powered-up space ninjas and we’re almost there, but because we love what we’ve made, and we love our little sack-friends, and most of all we love all our fans out there, we couldn’t let you all get together until we knew we were giving you the best experience imaginable.

Which is why we’ve taken the hard decision to delay the worldwide release of LittleBigPlanet 2, originally slated for later this year to January 2011.We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too.

Even though I was looking forwad to LBP 2 this year, I’m not too dissapointed by the news. It’s only an extra two months after all.
