Spore launches September 7

Spore is putty in your hands this September

After a series of delays, EA's Spore is finally set to arrive on September 7, 2008.

In a statement issued this week, EA and developer Maxis confirmed the release date of the much ballyhooed creature creation sim, which will be dropping on the PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS, and mobile phones.

"The wait is almost over," said Maxis Chief Designer Will Wright in a statement. "We're in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can't wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year."

For the uninformed, Spore has been pitched by Maxis as a "personal universe in a box." Players will have complete control over life forms they create from scratch; from the microbiological level to the primitive level to the point where they will establish tribes, build civilizations, and sculpt entire worlds. The game's online component will allow players to explore universes created by other gamers.
