If you never tire of suiting up your sackboy in different costumes and hurling him across the world of LittleBigPlanet, I have fantasic news for you: Media Molecule has a full slate of new DLC coming your way in April and May, and it’s enough to keep you busy for quite some time.
According to CVG, April 16th and 23rd will bring two free DLC packs, the first being the Monkey King costume and the second a Creator Pack that includes tools to help you do more in creating your own levels. After that, we get the Heavenly Sword mini-pack, which includes the Nariko and Kai costumes, an Egyptian-themed costume pack, and a Norse-themed costume pack. Hit the jump for the full schedule and more details.
I haven’t picked up LittleBigPlanet in a while, but considering the craze for all things Egyptian around the office, I think I might check out that pack when it comes out. I could create my own Egyptian Dental Fair level, in fact!
