 ===Post-release===
 The Factory Of A Better Tomorrow would make another appearance in the ''LittleBigPlanet 3: The Journey Home'' DLC Pack in the levels [[the Flight Shift]] and [[Swoop de Loop]]. The prior features [[Swoop]] as she helps Clive Handforth relieve the factory from an emergency lockdown. The Factory Of A Better Tomorrow is notably shown to be in a recovered state in the DLC, with much of the factory now restored since the Negativitron's attack.
