For many gamers, "Little Big Planet" was one of the most fun, addictive video games released last year. Now it's getting a little something extra to win over the hearts and minds of comic book fans, too.
According to game developers Media Molecule, a new "Watchmen" costume kit will be released this week for "Little Big Planet," allowing players to suit up their characters as one of four characters from Zack Snyder's big-screen adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel. Included in the pack will be skins for Silk Spectre, Rorschach, Nite Owl and Ozymandias, as well as a bunch of "Watchmen"-related sticker sets for in-game decoration.
The developers also created the following video to introduce the "Watchmen" set to LBP fans:
There's no word on whether Rorschach's ink blots will move—or if we'll see a blue-skinned, naked Dr. Manhattan—but the developers have indicated that LBP fans will be able to download the "Watchmen" set this Thursday. That means you'll soon be able to own what could possibly be the cutest Rorschach since the "Watchmen" Saturday morning cartoon series. Joy!
