“Spring is coming to Craftworld! Hop right into the season of heroic adventures with Sackboy’s fresh Daisy Costume,” tweeted the official LittleBigPlanet Twitter account. “Spread some sunshine throughout the land by downloading it for Sackboy: A Big Adventure from April 7th.”

Sackboy has brought epic levels of cuteness ever since he first arrived on PS3 in 2008, but now he looks arguably cuter than ever in his vibrant Daisy Flower Costume perfect for the Spring season.

Unlike the main LittleBigPlanet series, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a 3D platform title developed by Sumo Digital that arrived on PS5 and PS4 in 2020, before arriving on PC in 2022. It is playable on your lonesome or with three other friends. While it lacks the overall creativity of its bigger sibling, Sackboy: A Big Adventure comes with all the charm that fans of the series would expect.
