Sony has big plans for the PlayStation Move this Autumn.
Leading things off on September 13 (which was actually a few days ago) is “LittleBigPlanet’s biggest Downloadable Content pack to date,” LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack: Rise of the Cakeling. Rise of the Cakeling adds five new story levels, seven side levels and gives gamers the ability to paint their own stickers and create their own Move-powered games. According to Sony, the Move Pack for LBP2 will “vastly broaden your creative palette.”
If you’d prefer to paint the town with blood, the standalone InFamous: Festival of Blood will be available to download on October 25 alongside a game update that adds Move support to InFamous 2.
Rounding out the rest of the Move-a-palooze is Everybody Dance on October 18 and the trio of Carnival Island, EyePet & Friends and Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest on November 15.
You can move forward with more information on all of these Move titles after the break.
LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack: Rise of the Cakeling – September 13 (PSN Download)
The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack combines the PlayStation Move motion controller with the world of LittleBigPlanet, and with five giant story levels and seven side levels, this is LittleBigPlanet’s biggest Downloadable Content (DLC) pack to date. It features a new story mode – The Rise of the Cakeling – in which a rogue cake threatens doom and destruction, and you Sackfolk must once again attempt to restore peace to Craftworld. This time though you’ll have a brand new toy to make things easier, The Brain Crane—a new power up that allows you to control objects with the power of your mind. There is also a new suite of powerful gadgets for use with PlayStation Move allowing players to create their own PlayStation Move games, record fluid motions, and paint their own stickers, while a boatload of new stickers, materials, decorations, costumes, music, sound and sequencer objects will vastly broaden your creative palette, and make your Popit burst at the seams. Best of all, the Move Pack brings backwards compatibility with LittleBigPlanet 2, meaning you can play though all of the original story levels, and all five million community levels using the Move controller, not to mention the thousands of new games and levels that are bound to be created using the Move controller, all equating to endless fun for players. The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack is available for download only via the PlayStation Network for $9.99.
