At Gamescom today, Sony announced the upcoming PlayStation 3 release of LittleBigPlanet Hub, a free-to-play service that collects many key aspects of the custom content-driven LittleBigPlanet series.

Promising a "continuous supply of wonderful things to do," LittleBigPlanet Hub allows players to collaborate with online teammates for challenges, level creation, and wardrobe coordination via a redesigned shop interface.

LittleBigPlanet Hub will launch as a free download later this year.
