Sony has announced that it has signed a new partnership with UK-based studio Double Eleven.

As part of the deal, the developer will produce games exclusively for Sony platforms. It is currently working on the PlayStation Vita version of LittleBigPlanet.

“Double Eleven are one of the most exciting developers to emerge onto the development scene in recent years, their technical expertise makes them a great fit for LittleBigPlanet on PSVITA and we’ve very pleased with the progress the team have made on this hugely anticipated title,” explained Michael Denny, SVP of SCE Worldwide Studios Europe.

Double Eleven CEO Lee Hutchinson: “For us to become strong partners with Sony at such a crucial stage in our own development underlines the unswerving commitment we have made to the quality of our production.
