Game Summary

Iconic PlayStation® hero Sackboy bursts back into breathtaking action with a huge, fun and frantic 3D multiplayer platforming adventure – and a whole new edgy sackitude!

The dastardly Vex (a near-mythical being born of chaos and fear, no less) kidnaps Sackboy’s friends and forces them to build his Topsy Turver.

This most deadly diabolical device will transform Craftworld from a fantastical land of pure imagination and innocent dreams… into a torrid, barren eyesore of nightmares. Ooh the fiend!

But legend tells of a prophecy from deep within the ancient order of the Knitted Knights, Craftworld’s legendary protectors. For only the brave, fearless, chivalrous and, yes, gallant can save the day in an almost too dramatic for words race against time stuffed with danger and peril. So much peril.

Set off alone or with your bravest friends on a whirlwind of capers across the snowiest mountains, the leafiest jungles, the wettest underwater realms and the, uh, spaciest of space colonies.

Take down Vex. Save the sack-folk. Save the day. It’s time to fulfil your destiny, Sackboy. From woolly wonderkid and hessian hero… rise our Knitted Knight.

Features

Perilous platforming experience.
Explore here, there, and everywhere through distinctive hand-crafted lands across Craftworld.

Utilise Sackboy’s cool, diverse move-set to face a huge variety of thrilling challenges, fierce enemies and startling surprises.

You will never know what’s coming next in an awe-inspiring and downright fun epic adventure you’ll want to play again and again. And again.

Collaborative, chaotic, and joyful multiplayer.
Round up your favourite friends, family, and neighbours. This is going to get wild and woolly.

Create teams of two to four adventurers and take on side-splitting challenges in local and online banter-packed party play that’ll have everyone in stitches.

Parties can play through the whole game – including a number of co-op only levels – as you work together to overcome nefarious tasks however you can imagine, from ingenious squad tactics to pure dumb luck. Whatever it takes!

Exploring by yourself is a jaw-dropping experience; but heading out on a journey of discovery with friends, family and neighbours is truly unforgettable.

Re-stuffed. Re-stitched. Re-zipped. Sack it to me!
Famed for his antics in the smash hit LittleBigPlanet™ series on PlayStation® consoles, Sackboy hits the big time on PC, stuffed with sweet moves and cool, game-changing gadgets.

Hilarious, fearless, creative, and heroic. This is Sackboy unleashed – re-stuffed, re-stitched and re-zipped for a whole new generation of adventurers.
