The European release of LittleBigPlanet 3 has been delayed by one week, Sony has announced. The delay means that the game now won’t launch in the UK until November 28. It had previously been due to release November 21.

The game is still on track to launch in North America on November 18.

“We’re currently working our socks off with Sackboy and friends to get the game to you as soon as possible but it’s recently come to our attention that we’re going to have to move the release of LittleBigPlanet 3 in Europe by one week to give Sackboy the best opportunity to shine,” explained one of the developers in a new blog post.

“This was a very difficult decision to make but since LittleBigPlanet is such a globally appealing game, it seemed only right to give more people the chance to get to know Sackboy and his new friends.”

The delay is expected to affect both the PS4 and PS3 versions, although why it only affects Europe isn’t clear.

“Sorry for any bubbles that may have just been burst but we thought it best to give you the heads-up now and to assure you that we’re still working to bring you all LittleBigPlanet 3 in Europe by 26th November,” continued the post. “This doesn’t affect the release date in America.”
