ModNation Racers Gets A New Guest Star Of The Sack Variety

Lovers of all things hessian should be ecstatic to hear that LittleBigPlanet's loveable Sackboy will be making the cross game promotional jump into ModNation Racers next month.

Lining up alongside Sony's first party iconic characters - Ratchet & Clank, Nathan Drake and Kratos - the cuddly character, as seen in the screens and trailer below, will feature with his own cardboard racer.

Whilst it seems that Ratchet and co. were pre-order retailer specific, Sackboy will be available to all those who pre-ordered online and will also be available for those that pick up a special stickered copy of the game in stores.

Wait... that's not all. Depending on where you pre-order your copy from, you will also get one of four "Mod and Kart Packs," featuring Mouse Trap, Lil Tinker, Cowboy or Woody. For more details on each and a video, head on over to the PS Blog post.

Seeing as all these updates were made on the US arm of the PlayStation Blog, only time will tell whether these offers and its similar setup will take form in other regions. We'll keep you informed though. In the meantime, feast on this lot...

It would've been cool if we could use OUR, customized, sackboy (from within LittleBigPlanet) to race in ModNation Racers.

If the game has horns for the karts, Sackboy's kart should have Steven Fry say something silly when you honk. :)

They should have Kevin Butler as a character. Now that would be worth pre-ordering for!!!

Definitely pre-ordering this. Though Best Buy will probably screw me out of a Sackboy code. And a Drake one too.

@14 Nah, it's developed by United Front Games, LBP was developed by Media Molecule, but they're both published by Sony. Which is why its a PS3 exclusive, and all the PS3 characters are making appearances in Modnation Racers.

Its all looking good though, can't wait :)

This games doesn't interest me, but the kids will love it, they loved the beta. there are much bigger and better games coming out soon that I have my eye on.
