Media Molecule's Dreams is still alive but fans will have to dream on a little longer. They will have to wait awhile more to play the PS4 exclusive game from the developer of LittleBigPlanet. Media Molecule has delayed the beta of Dreams to 2017. The studio is sorry for the delay but they do not want players to have a worse experience with the game.

After the Guildford developer announced Dreams in 2015 at E3, they have not been seen or heard since. According to gaming website Eurogamer, there was some expectations that Media Molecule would feature the game at the recent PlayStation Experience event but they were a no show.

A beta trial for Dreams had been previously announced to be released this year but it never came out. Although the beta did not push through in 2016, Media Molecule is still planning to release it next year.

Gaming website GameSpot reported that in a blog post on the LittleBigPlanet developer's website, studio director Siobhan Reddy confirmed that the beta of Dreams has been delayed until sometime in 2017. She apologized as well for the silence and absence of any updates on the progress of the game from Media Molecule.

Reddy said that the game had grown much bigger than what the studio initially had in mind. She added that Dreams is so big, it needs more development work before even the beta of the game can be ready to be shared with the public.

Media Molecule has not provided much information regarding the game but Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has described Dreams as a next-gen creation platform that has much more flexibility than LittleBigPlanet. The developer has stated that it will provide more detailed updates on the status of the game in early 2017.

According to gaming website Shacknews, the studio intends for the game to add further to the play, create, and share mission statement of LittleBigPlanet. Dreams will extend the drawing, animation, sculpting, music and sound effects, game development, and storytelling found in Media Molecule's previous game.
