Sony have just let TheSixthAxis know that Double Eleven, the studio behind upcoming PS Vita game LittleBigPlanet, have signed an exclusivity deal with the publisher.
“Double Eleven are one of the brightest new UK development studios,” says the press release, “having been formed by former Rockstar Leeds lead-engineers in 2010. Double Eleven were recently revealed as the architects behind the technology driving LittleBigPlanet on PS VITA at the recent E3 in Los Angeles.”
Double Eleven will continue to work on LBP, but will then start to develop new games for all Sony platforms.
Lee Hutchinson, CEO at Double Eleven said that the signing was “a testament to the hard work of all the exceptional team” and “the opportunity to work so closely with Sony is simply fantastic.”

I thought that said Double Fine for a second, and had a nerdgasm. Now I am both disappointed and itchy.

The quality of LBP on PS Vita was definitely impressive, Sony are really strengthening their products through their focus on exclusive game development and developer support.
Reality Check
