One of the original launch games for PlayStation 5, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is getting a new costume and emote in celebration of the New Year. Developed by Sumo Digital, the game has continued to get post-launch support for over two years. As the spinoff for LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy: A Big Adventure follows Sackboy in another platform adventure that can be played with friends in both local and online coop.Since the original release for PlayStation, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was also released on PC following a trend of Sony adding PlayStation exclusives to the PC market after its debut on console. Sony had recently announced at The Game Awards 2022 that Returnal and The Last of Us Part 1 would be the next games from the PlayStation family to head to PC. Both staggered releases and the continued support of post-launch content are part of why PlayStation's exclusives are extending the user engagement of their titles.Sony continues that support for Sackboy: A Big Adventure with an announcement from the official PlayStation twitter page that the platformer will receive a new costume and emote to celebrate the New Year. There is an image of the costume added to the post that shows off Sackboy in his new costume sporting Happy New Year glasses and confetti streamers with fireworks going off in the background. Other costumes from Sackboy: A Big Adventure are shown in the image as well showing other Sackboys celebrating the New Year together.
Fans of Sackboy: A Big Adventure commented on their love for the series in the replies. One fan stated they wanted new costumes in 2023 based on upcoming game releases like Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy. Another user stated that they missed the LittleBigPlanet series, and there were a few comments requesting the game be added to Sony's new streaming services PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a unique game among the PlayStation first party lineup and the continued support is reassuring for fans who are anticipating a return of the mainline series. The adorably creative platformer would also add a lot of value to the PS Plus streaming catalog, though Sony has not confirmed any plans to add it as of now. Hopefully, fans can expect to see more of Sackboy in the future whether that is in the form of a sequel or a return to the mainline LittleBigPlanet series.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is out now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
