Announced on the PlayStation Blog, Laurie will play Newton, the villainous counterpart to Fry’s dulcet narrator. The cast also includes British actors Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead) and Simon Greenall (I’m Alan Partridge), and video game mainstays Nolan North (Uncharted games, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor) and Tara Strong (Batman: Arkham games, Final Fantasy X).
Though most Americans have come to know Laurie as Dr. House, in his native England he is beloved as a comedian. Fry and Laurie have a comedic partnership that goes back for decades in shows like Blackadder and their eponymous A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
The same Sony update also teased the return of other voices from previous entries in the series, but gave no particulars. LittleBigPlanet 3 arrives on November 18 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Nintendo Switch 2: release date rumors, features we want, and more
Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 (or Switch Pro) have been circulating for years. Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was initially teased in 2019, gained steam when the Switch OLED launched in 2021, and are increasing now that the standard Switch has been out for six years.
There's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console -- it has a unique and impressive game library (with more upcoming games slated for this year), the number of features included with Nintendo Switch Online is constantly improving, and it's still our favorite portable console -- but it isn't without its flaws. There's enough room for improvement to warrant an entirely new console in the near future. Nintendo recently announced that we wouldn't see a Switch upgrade in the next fiscal year, meaning the absolute earliest we get a look at a new Nintendo console would be in late 2024.
