LittleBigPlanet HUB was going to be a PlayStation 3 game based on the LittleBigPlanet series developed by Sumo Digital. The game was announced at Gamescom 2013 and a trailer was shown. It appeared that LittleBigPlanet HUB was a free downloadable game where players can have unlimited access to features seen in the first two LittleBigPlanet games and exclusive content.[1][2]
LittleBigPlanet HUB was never mentioned again after the Gamescom 2013 announcement and it has been rumored that the game had been cancelled. However, no announcement regarding the game's cancellation had ever been made. The game likely disappeared to Sumo Digital's then-upcoming game "LittleBigPlanet 3" which was in the works.
