LittleBigPlanet 2, officially unveiled this morning by Media Molecule, seems to have a lot new going for it, including a new central hub.

Judging by the 20 screen shots developer Media Molecule released this morning, the player's pod seems much more earth bound then the pod of the original LittleBigPlanet.

The screens also give us a glimpse at some new creature creations including flying birds, hairy monsters and what appears to be a electric bug of some sort. My favorite among the bunch is the TV-headed Sackboy.

LBP 2 Trailer

Media Molecule officially took the handmade wraps off its game-sweding  suite's sequel, LittleBigPlanet 2. How do you make a full sequel to a game that's already had a sequel's worth of free content updates? Media Molecule appears to have expanded its game-making engine significantly. For example, it is now possible to add AI characters called "Sackbots," with behavior you can record or define.

Levels can also be bundled to make a whole game, and those games don't have to be platformers. The trailer above gives us brief looks at racing games (one of which appears to involve players riding mice) and a Space Invaders-style shooter. You can even open use a "Direct Control Seat" to alter controls, allowing you to control objects that are not Sackboy, "and make a game that doesn't even remotely resemble" Media Molecule's foundation.

This sequel will even, in a way, act as yet another upgrade to the original: all of the two-million-plus LittleBigPlanet 1 levels will still work.

LittleBigPlanet 2 will be out on PlayStation 3 in Winter 2010.
