Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet will be released in October later this year.

Announced last year, LittleBigPlanet sees gamers create and share mini-games that will require that players support each other through community-based teamwork.

As creative skills grow, players will be able to modify their surroundings, and will gain the power to shape, design, and build their own patch.

The game was originally due early-2008 however Kaz Hirai, President of SCEE has said it will be delayed until October.

Sony announced the new launch date at its PlayStation Day in London's O2 arena.

The company also confirmed that Killzone 2, its graphic first person shooter would also be pushed back to February 2009, and Home, its social community interface till November.
