Ever since LittleBigPlanet first hit store shelves back in October of 2008 it has pretty much become the face of the PS3. Sack boy, the game’s main character, is often used in advertisements for the PS3 console because he’s just so damn cute. In fact, the developers, Media Molecule, were contracted exclusively by Sony to produce only for their consoles.

Well, that contract seems to be getting tightened just a bit as it was announced today that Sony has acquired Media Molecule. President of SCE Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, comments on the acquisition:

“SCE WWS is all about creating ambitious, innovative and ground breaking games, traits that Media Molecule clearly have. To bring them into our family proves our dedication to creating fantastic new experiences that we believe will cement our position as industry leaders.”

Now let’s hope we see some more kick ass titles come from Media Molecule.
