Upcoming DLC or great fake? You be the judge.
No official word from Media Molecule or Sony, but this looks like pretty professional artwork. Could this be signs of the DLC to come once the regular LBP PSN updates resume on January 22? What do you guys think?
UPDATE: Coincidentally, SEGA has updated their blog with information on upcoming Valkyria Chronicles DLC: “Soon we’ll be announcing a date for the first batch of Valkyria Chronicles downloadable content…”
It would make sense for the costumes to hit LBP in conjunction with the new DLC pack for SEGA’s game to boost sales.

It’s from 4chan, definitely not reliable. But come on- this looks amazing.

Maybe its true but i don’t think it would be released on 22nd of January. Maybe in middle of February or beggining of March
January 16th, 2009 at 4:05 PM
If this is true then they have a first day buyer when it’s released.
I am currently in love with Valkyria Chronicles…

Probably will correspond with the new DLC coming soon for Valkyria Chronicles:
“Soon we’ll be announcing a date for the first batch of Valkyria Chronicles downloadable content”

UPDATED POST.
Also, the DLC pack may be called the “Selvaria DLC pack”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMfIrWg8M28

There is no way on earth that the image is an official render. Anyone who knows how to use photoshop will be able to see the tell-tale signs. Not to mention the hand-drawn appearance of the costume itself.
It would be pretty neat if there was VC DLC for LBP, but this certainly isn’t one of the actual in-game costumes.

I hope VC gets a Trophy update to go along with the DLC… I would love to pick up the game.
January 16th, 2009 at 4:51 PM
haha trophies are a pre-requisite now for Phoenix.
Yeah I wonder since new games are rumored to require trophies after January 2009, if they’ll force trophies onto new DLC add-ons like this one for VC soon as well.
Also, tonynibbles, you may be onto something – checking into the hair assets to see if they used some other available hair and then painted the costume – but it was too coincidental not to post on the site.

Can anyone find the original posting on 4chan? We can track down the poster and either get to the bottom of this or give him 5 minutes of internet fame for creating a great fake.

For fun, check out the discussion on the LittleBigWorkshop discussing “Sack Racks” and whether or not this is real based on the fact that she has boobs.

The Valkryia DLC might possibly be what Japan got early.There was a post about it on the official blog a few months ago. Harder Skirmish I believe..
January 16th, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Intestering enewtabie.
Hm… I do agree with what many have said about the clothing looking too detailed and not fitting in with LBP’s art style. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
It’d be nice to hear something from Sony or Media Molecule. Even a non-denial but we probably won’t get one.

Japan actually received three pieces of DLC… The Edy pack and Hard Ex mode were first.. The Selvaria pack was last
January 16th, 2009 at 5:35 PM
@Craiji,
Thanks for the clarification. What are your thoughts on the image? Photoshop/fake or possible leak?
January 16th, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Edie pack came out 4 months after JPN release, so that would mean Feb/March if they stick to the same schedule for USA.
January 16th, 2009 at 6:54 PM
The more I think about it, the more it seems possible. To coincide with US DLC soon and the Japanese “The Best” release in March for a second push of the game in both regions

Umm… Naughty Dog just hinted at Uncharted DLC for LBP:
Jak and Daxter is #7 in LittleBIGPlanetoid’s “Top 20 LittleBigPlanet Level Kit Predictions” Where’s Drake or UNCHARTED?
