LittleBigPlanet Developer Reportedly Working on Animal Crossing-Like Game for 2027 Release
Media Molecule, the developer behind LittleBigPlanet, is reportedly working on a new social-simulation game inspired by Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. According to MP1st, the studio has been developing the project for some time and plans to incorporate social-simulation gameplay elements typical of those franchises. The game is expected to be announced and released in 2027, assuming development stays on schedule.
This represents a notable departure from Media Molecule’s established expertise in platform creation and level-building mechanics. The social-simulation direction suggests the new title will focus on community-building and life-simulation systems rather than the action-based or creation-focused gameplay the studio is known for. Beyond these preliminary details, little additional information about specific gameplay features or release platforms has been disclosed, leaving open questions about the game’s full scope and direction for future announcements.
