Media Molecule working on LBP sequel?

Media Molecule is reportedly already working on a sequel to the hugely-hyped LittleBigPlanet.

A report from the BBC said that "even before the game has hit the shops, the team are already at work on a sequel", however neither Media Molecule or Sony were quoted in the piece, or have commented since.

It does seem to be a game that is certainly suitable for expansion, whether via PSN or other discs, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Plus, if you consider the anticipation surrounding the first game, the idea of a sequel isn't completely far fetched.

"I feel so proud of what they have done, which is phenomenal," said Peter Molyneux, head of Lionhead Studios. "They have started a company from scratch with one of the most amazing and creative ideas that this industry has ever seen and come out with a huge success."

While it's not quite a success just yet, early reviews suggest it may well live up to its hype. UK gamers will be able to get their hands on it on 5th November.
