LittleBigPlanet Hub footage leaks online

In a surprising turn of events, an online video claiming to showcase an "internal demo" of the once-announced yet never-released PS3 exclusive, LittleBigPlanet Hub, has emerged, capturing the interest of gaming enthusiasts. This unreleased game was initially expected to hit the shelves in 2013 but remained in development limbo without an official cancellation. The leaked footage is particularly notable for featuring the voice of Stephen Fry, along with the iconic costumes and gameplay elements that have made the series a favorite among platformer fans.

The video, described simply as “LittleBigPlanet Hub beta official gameplay full walkthrough recorded in 2013” by its uploader, has stirred curiosity and speculation within the community. A subsequent snippet shared by the same source suggests that this build is not just a historical artifact but might still be obtainable for download, albeit under mysterious circumstances.

Delving deeper into the comments, the individual posting the footage claims they were a beta tester for the game in 2013. This has led to speculation that the game’s ideas and mechanics possibly laid the groundwork for what eventually evolved into LittleBigPlanet 3. Despite the intrigue, both Sony and Media Molecule, the developers behind the series, have not offered any confirmation, leaving the authenticity of the footage as either a well-crafted hoax or an intriguing peek into what might have been.

Amidst discussions, some have theorized that the uploader might have been bound by a 10-year Non-Disclosure Agreement, now expired, allowing them to share the footage freely. However, in the absence of official statements, this remains speculative.

The community is now abuzz with anticipation of possibly more footage making its way online following reports that suggest the game's build might have leaked.

This revelation comes on the heels of the news that planned PC and PlayStation 5 versions of Media Molecule’s Dreams have been scrapped. Well-known industry insider Lance McDonald shared that these versions were nearing completion before being abandoned concurrently with a significant reduction in the studio’s workforce at the end of the previous year.

The unexpected leak of LittleBigPlanet Hub’s gameplay has reignited discussions about the project, offering a tantalizing glimpse at a game that might have expanded the beloved franchise in new directions.
