We probably need a better icon (and a witty phrase) for this, but I can't think of either of those things right now.

Ulitimate Sackboy is an upcoming 3D auto-runner game developed by Exient for iOS and Android mobile devices. It is the second dedicated mobile title in the LittleBigPlanet series following 2014's Run Sackboy! Run! and will revolve around Sackboy competing in the Sackworth University Games, with the player swiping the screen to dodge obstalces and collect Score Bubbles in order to get a higher score than the opponent.

The game was initially soft-launched on the Google Play Store in the Philippines, slowly making its way to other territories. It is currently only playable on Android devices, however, an iOS version has been confirmed for a future release.[1]

Development

In March 2021, Ultimate Sackboy was soft-launched in the Philippines, being labelled as "Early Access" at the time. However, it wouldn't be discovered until late April when concept art for the game was uploaded to ArtStation by illustrator Javier Corzo. The title given to the concept art on their personal website, "Little Big Planet 2019" suggests that it formally entered development sometime in 2019.[2]

On May 6, 2021, former XDev Director Pete Smith replied to Twitter user 'Nerdyant64' confirming the game's existence, stating it is "just early access at this stage." When asked, he also confirmed that an iOS version was planned for release.[1]

On November 24, 2021, the soft-launch was extended to Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore and Sweden.
