LittleBigPlanet 3 Release Date and Pre-Order Bonuses Announced

LittleBigPlanet 3 will hit PS3 and PS4 on November 18th according to a new post on the Playstation Blog. Along with this news came the unveiling of various pre-order exclusive items coming to the game, and select retailers. Tons of items are available, but they have been split up quite a bit, so you’ll need to figure out which retailer has the content you want before placing your order.

First up is a ridiculously cute Sackboy plush. All pre-orders will automatically get the Sackboy plush for free, but supplies are limited so be sure to order as soon as you can. If you pre-order with Target your plush will feature an exclusive Target hat.

Along with the Sackboy plush, pre-orders will get various costume packs. Every pre-order will get the Dragon Age Costume Pack, as part of the Day 1 Edition of LittleBigPlanet 3. There will also be a “Players Pack” that will contain “a variety of costumes based on your favorite PlayStation characters”. Both of these packs will be available at all retailers as part of pre-orders or the Day 1 Edition of the game. However, the rest are retailer exclusive.

Three different pre-order costume packs are being offered, with one each going to GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon.com. “The Mythical Creatures Costume Pack and the Hidden Creatures Costume Pack will give each member of the group their own special costume for their upcoming adventure and will be perfect for anyone looking to add more fantasy to their heroic team. The PlayStation Favorite Costume Pack will feature outfits from some of PlayStation’s favorite franchises and will be perfect for those looking for a little PlayStation nostalgia.”

The Mythical Creatures Costume Pack will be available at GameStop. The Hidden Creatures Costume Pack is exclusive to Best Buy. And the Playstation Favorites Costume Pack comes from Amazon.com.

Sony’s own Playstation Store is getting in on the exclusive content action as well, with the LittleBigPlanet 3 T-shirt Pack. Pre-ordering the game on either Playstation 3 or Playstation 4 will give you immediate access to the exclusive shirts, meaning you can start wearing them now in LittleBigPlanet 2. 

All of these offers are for North America only, but announcements regarding Europe should come soon. LittleBigPlanet 3 hits PS3 and PS4 on November 18th.
