Sackboy Joins the ModNation Line-up, Mystery Mods Also Revealed

April 28, 2010

ModNation Racers hits in less than one month, and the excitement and anticipation is increasing by the day. Along with an easy accessible track creator, there’s an even more accessible character creator. However, if you don’t feel like creating your own character, you can also take the opportunity to pre-order from a handful of retailers, to get your hands on PlayStation favorites Nathan Drake, Ratchet & Clank, or Kratos. But, that’s not all you can choose from.

Along with the current bonuses, gamers who plan on pre-ordering ModNation Racers at either Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, or GameCrazy, will get a surprise Mod character. It won’t matter which store you pre-order at, you will be getting a pre-order voucher code to download one of the four Mod characters revealed.

Also joining the cast of ModNation Racers is known other than the mascot of Play.Create.Share, Sackboy! Unlike the other PlayStation characters, pre-ordering ModNation Racers is not the only way to catch the LittleBigPlanet icon. Look out for specially marked ModNation Racers boxes, as a code will be packaged inside to download Sackboy, and his pretty awesome Cardboard kart. Be quick though, as the offer will only be available “while supplies last.”
