'LittleBigPlanet 3' (ALL) Adds Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry Voice-overs - Trailer

The handcrafted adventure sees Sackboy travel to a planet called Bunkum. Players there uncover unexplored corners of the Imagisphere and explore the mysterious world as you work together with new friends to rescue Bunkum from the clutches of the evil Newton!

For the first time, LittleBigPlanet 3 features three original playable and fully customisable characters – each with their own unique set of skills. You can now bound up and over walls as the quick and agile OddSock, glide through the skies as the majestic Swoop and transform Toggle between Big Toggle, a heavy strongman, and Little Toggle, a light speedster who can walk across water! Each characters’ unique abilities brings new dynamic gameplay and expands the inventive possibilities in Create mode.

Featuring all new Create tools, LittleBigPlanet 3 massively expands possibilities for User Generated Content enabling you to bring your own world to life in the game and explore fans’ creations from around the globe. LittleBigPlanet 3 also gives players access to over 8.5 million of these levels already created by the LittleBigPlanet Community on previous platforms, offering endless fun from the day of release.

Leveraging key PS4 next-generation features, LBP3 offers seamless functionality with the DS4 SHARE button; accessible Create tools integrated on the DS4 touchpad, and advanced gameplay performance. Texture resolutions have been enhanced by 4x which means the materials in LBP3 feel more tactile than ever - in full 1080p HD.

Long-time fans will already be well-accustomed to Stephen Fry’s dulcet tones as LittleBigPlanet’s ever-warm and loving Narrator. But evil is afoot for our otherwise pleasant world and the nefarious Newton is here to cause all kinds of trouble and mischief in this brand new adventure!

But just who would be the dream voice to contest against Mr. Fry…?

That’s right! The mischievous Newton is being voiced by none other than Stephen Fry’s long-time comedic partner… Hugh Laurie!

We have naturally always been big fans of Stephen Fry, so when it came to deciding upon a voice to act as his dastardly counterpart, we couldn’t help but think that bringing Hugh Laurie on as the voice of Newton would be just the perfect double act for LittleBigPlanet 3. We couldn’t be happier to have him on-board!

That’s not all, though! LBL3 is filled with all kinds of wonderful characters, new Creator Curators, and more NPCs than ever before in a LittleBigPlanet game. So we needed a wonderful array of voices to help bring all these characters to life.

We don’t want to get all spoiler-y before you even have a chance to discover Sackboy’s newest story for yourself, but we wanted to let you know that you will have the opportunity to listen out for the likes of top names Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead), and Simon Greenall (Alan Partridge, Wimbledon), along with video game stalwarts such as Nolan North (UNCHARTED series, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor) and Tara Strong (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, The Fairly OddParents).

We have some additional voices returning from a previous LittleBigPlanet adventure that will be making a very welcome return when they reunite with Sackboy in his latest escapade.
