In Sackboy: A Big Adventure - Sumo Introduces Sackboy | PS5, it was confirmed that the focus is solely on play; Create Mode is present, however. The game was a launch title for PS5, so it released on the 12th of November 2020.

Some elements from previous games have returned, such elements include the eponymous Sackboy, multiplayer, costumes, Score Bubbles, Bounce Pads, the Grappling Hook, Hazards, Collectabells, ZomZom's Shop, and Slides.

Plot

The dastardly Vex (a near-mythical being born of chaos and fear, no less) kidnaps Sackboy’s friends and forces them to build his Topsy Turver.

This most deadly diabolical device will transform Craftworld from a fantastical land of pure imagination and innocent dreams… into a torrid, barren eyesore of nightmares. Ooh, the fiend!

But legend tells of a prophecy from deep within the ancient order of the Knitted Knights, Craftworld’s legendary protectors. For only the brave, fearless, chivalrous, and yes, gallant can save the day in an almost too dramatic for words race against time stuffed with danger and peril. So much peril.

Set off alone or with your bravest friends on a whirlwind of capers across the snowiest mountains, the leafiest jungles, the wettest underwater realms, and the, uh, spaciest of space colonies.

Takedown Vex. Save the sack-folk. Save the day. It’s time to fulfill your destiny, Sackboy. From woolly wonderkid and hessian hero… rise our Knitted Knight.
