In celebration of the release of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita this Thursday 20 September, Sackboy in being launched “(Near) Space” thanks to Sony Australia.
“Next month, our beloved hero will turn “hessian-naught”, and embark on his world first journey to near space,” proclaimed Sony. “Attached to a meteorological balloon and set to launch from Australian soil, Sackboy will journey towards the Earth’s “Sackosphere” where he’ll get a perfect bird’s-eye view of our own little big planet.”
PlayStation fans throughout Australia are invited to play a part in Sackboy’s journey. “With a new digital and social campaign, PlayStation will first invite fans to ‘create’: the gravity-rush defying astro suit that will be physically made and worn by Sackboy on his epic Aussie voyage,” began Sony. “Fans will then be asked to ‘play’: supported by a range of clues, community players will be offered the opportunity to drop a pin on their estimated landing spot for Sackboy, for an opportunity to win a LittleBigPlanet prize pack.”
The contest is called “Sackboy: Project (Near) Space” and can be accessed via the PlayStation Australia Facebook page. It officially begins in October, so keep an eye out!
