A joint effort between Media Molecule and United Front Games (the studio behind ModNation Racers and Sleeping Dogs), we’re told that LBP Karting is ”sure to be an adventure that both LBP fans and kart-racing fans alike will enjoy.”
”Our goal with LBP Karting has been fairly simple,” said UFG Senior Producer James Grieve, ”to provide a fast-paced experience that captures the best of classic karting gameplay, married with the unbridled creativity of LBP.”
”LBP Karting is set in an entirely 3D world that will enable players to create rich and varied gameplay experiences. Tons of familiar LBP gadgets will be present, along with a new toolbox specifically tailored to allow for building in LBP Karting’s 3D world.”
LBP Karting is said to have standard game modes like racing and battle, with the option for players to modify the rules to create their own challenges.
Media Molecule this year celebrated their sixth birthday, and the LBP is also getting a PS Vita title being worked on by Tarsier Studios and Double Eleven Studios.
We’ll bring you more information as we get it.
