Why it’s “stepping away” from LBP.
Media Molecule has explained studio director Siobhan Reddy’s recent comment that the UK developer is “stepping away” from LittleBigPlanet.
Speaking during a Develop conference keynote this morning, Media Molecule co-founders Kareem Ettouney, Mark Healey and Alex Evans told ex-Sony president of worldwide studios Phil Harrison the man who signed LBP as a PlayStation 3 exclusive in 2006 that the Guildford studio is “still very involved” with the game, pointing to the upcoming release of the PlayStation Move pack.
However, Media Molecule is now a multi-thread company, the Sony-owned developer said, and branching out into new areas.
