A new LittleBigPlanet game is coming to Vita, PlayStation France CEO Philippe Cardon told Pockett recently. The executive said Soul Sacrifice and LittleBigPlanet will spearhead Vita software sales this year, and when challenged, confirmed he meant “another” game, not the 2012 release. Take it with a grain of salt, though – Cardon’s also the one who said we’d get a Monster Hunter game for Vita in 2012, and we’re yet to get even a sniff of it.

Another BioShock pack is heading to the PS Store for LittleBigPlanet games and it’s out next week. The last pack featured Big Daddy and Little Sister, but this one is all about Infinite, which is out next week as well. A couple wallpapers can be downloaded through the link if that is your speed.
