While the PlayStation Vita version of LittleBigPlanet got highlighted during Sonys E3 2011 press conference, not a lot of details have been revealed about the game. For example, who's making it? Today we got an answer to that particular question.

UK-based studio Double11 has announced that it is working on LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation Vita. If you haven't heard of Double11 before, don't worry. The studio was only founded in 2010 by ex-Rockstar engineers Lee Hutchinson and Matt Shepcar.

"It's a fantastic achievement and a privilege for the studio to be working on a project such as LittleBigPlanet, particularly for such an exciting new platform," said Hitchinson, who acts as Double11's CEO.

"We've spent the best part of a year recruiting a crack squad of games development professionals and we're delighted that we can finally announce it. It was really great to see such an enthusiastic response at the recent E3 and we are confident we’ll be able to do more so in the future."

Double11 are chiefly the technology architects on the project and are working closely with Sweden's Tarsier Studios, who contributed significant content to the PS3's LittleBigPlanet games.
