Get it while you still can.

All of the Marvel DLC for LittleBigPlanet games is going away December 31, Sony has announced.

The DLC includes Marvel-themed level packs and costumes, including those for popular characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and others.

No Caption Provided

As Polygon reports, there were four Marvel-themed costume DLC packs released for the original LittleBigPlanet, while two were made available for LittleBigPlanet 2. A level kit for LittleBigPlanet was also released, and the PlayStation Vita edition of LittleBigPlanet got an Arcade Pack themed around Marvel.

LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 DLC is compatible with the PS3 and PS4 versions of LittleBigPlanet 3.

All of the content is on sale, with costume packs going for $3.29 each, while the level kit is offered for $2.74. The Marvel Arcade Pack for LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, meanwhile, is available for $2.74.

In addition, LittleBigPlanet 3 is on sale for $12/$8 as part of the third week of the PSN 2015 Holiday Sale.

Sony didn't say why LittleBigPlanet's Marvel DLC is going away, but the expiration of a licensing agreement might be the reason. After December 31, if you already bought any Marvel DLC for LittleBigPlanet, you'll be able to redownload the content at a later time.

Not sure if paid advertisement or intellectually bankrupt copy/paste artist.

This happened with UMvC3, but it happened much sooner for that games. It especially sucked for that game as you'd be missing out on a whole character if you didn't get it. Honestly, I wish they'd just make the DLC free if it's going away forever. I'm sure they've already made enough money over all these years.

I remember a similar thing happening with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC, it seems stupid that the contract expirations affect already created content but then again what do I know I majored in Music Ed not Business or Law.

@Chaos_Dante_456: They did the same with the marvel vs capcom games on the digital markets.. mvc origins, mvc2, mvc3 and ultimate mvc3... :/ We also got a bit of a warning before they got taken down. Seems marvel is good with at least letting us all know when their licenses are expiring for games.

The DLC is most likely getting delisted due to a contract between Sony and Marvel expiring.

Is LBP3 worth it? I moderately enjoyed the first two.

@djwood84: the game is seriously buggy. Besides that the create mode is better than ever.

Wow, this'll make another unearnable 100%, for the Vita version at least. I got to get the Arcade pack for that I guess then.

That would be neat if they just gave it away for free.. to be fair though there's already a lot of of free DLC for LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation Store.
