LittleBigPlanet PS Vita developer Double Eleven has signed a PlayStation exclusive development deal with Sony.

Formed by former Rockstar Leeds lead engineers in 2010, the UK studio was recently revealed as the architect behind the technology driving LittleBigPlanet on Vita.

Under the terms of the deal, Double Eleven will work on LittleBigPlanet as well as new titles for Sony platforms.

SCE Worldwide Studios Europe senior vice president Michael Denny said: "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 PS Vita and wee've very pleased with the progress the team have made on this hugely anticipated title.

"For us to become strong partners with Sony at such a crucial stage in our own development underlines the unswerving commitment wee have made to the quality of our production," said Double Eleven CEO Lee Hutchinson. "Wee look forward to a truly exciting new phase in our own development, with the absolute intention to become a world-class studio."

Siobhan Reddy, executive producer at LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule, said earlier this month that the studio's "stepping away" from the series "to focus on some new ideas".
