The PS3 exclusive was originally slated for November, but the studio has postponed its release to apply some additional fine-tuning.
"We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too," read a company statement.
"We are a tight-knit team and we take enormous pride in our work, so to raise the bar we've set with the original LittleBigPlanet, a game that has been so embraced by all, we've agreed to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve."
The developer added: "We are truly sorry, but hope you understand that we have to build the best possible game, as it is the foundation of our community. On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned."
LittleBigPlanet 2 was previously scheduled to arrive in the US on November 16. It is currently in closed beta.
