Though the handful of promotional videos for Sony’s NGP have featured footage of a handheld version of Media Molecule’s latest, LittleBigPlanet 2, the game’s developer and publisher have remained mum about the series’ next on-the-go installment. However, a recent hiring notice on the studio’s front page gives us hope: The Guildford-based outfit is currently looking for a graphics programmer to work on a new title, which will land “on a portable platform.”

It wouldn’t be the first time the handcrafted platformer made its way to a handheld — that would be SCE Cambridge Studio’s LBP for PSP — but the possibility of a totally in-house iteration of the franchise on Sony’s next portable is enough to send shivers of excitment coursing through our entire body. We’ve contacted Media Molecule for a comment!
