The original LittleBigPlanet games and their follow-ups were highly acclaimed as among the top platformer titles. Since the release of Sack Boy: A Big Adventure, fans have eagerly awaited another installment in the main series. However, it appears that Astro Bot has taken over Sony’s primary role as a flagship platformer adventure game. To make matters worse, Media Molecule, the original creators of LittleBigPlanet, have made an announcement that seems to confirm the series’ future.
David Smith, the creator of Sack Boy and LittleBigPlanet at Media Molecule, has decided to leave his role as Gameplay Director to focus on personal creative endeavors. This move may signal the end of the LittleBigPlanet series, given that one of its founders is stepping away. It’s challenging to imagine the series continuing without such a significant contributor.
Fans felt sad upon hearing that Sackboy would no longer be a main focus, as he and LittleBigPlanet had been iconic Sony mascots for many years. However, the charming platformer seems to have taken a back seat to Astro Bot, which has won multiple awards and is regarded as one of the greatest 3D platformers ever created. Given Astro Bot’s success, it’s understandable that Sony would want to devote more resources to Team Asobi’s creation.
With sincere adieu, yet not a final goodbye! Wishing David the very best as he sets sail for new horizons. Here is a note directly from David.

Following Smith’s announcement, fans have shown their enthusiasm for the creator and are eagerly anticipating his upcoming work. While Smith didn’t share many specifics about his future endeavors, he hinted at potentially collaborating again with Media Molecule on various projects. As more veteran team members move on, there’s a growing sense that this could mark a fresh chapter for the UK studio, one that might not feature LittleBigPlanet anymore.
Media Molecule has hinted at a fresh venture for PlayStation 5, but details are scarce. Given their recent announcement, it’s tough to predict whether this new game will tie into Sack Boy or LittleBigPlanet, but it seems likely that it will be an entirely new concept. This revelation was made in the year 2023, following Media Molecule’s conclusion of support for Dreams, which means David Smith may have played a role in this game’s development. Fans might recognize some elements reminiscent of LittleBigPlanet’s charm.
