Spore is on its Way! (… In Six Months)
Yes, though we still have no exact release date, Will Wright (father of The Sims, father of SimCity!) has finally offered up a good quote that gives us a little hope for those who were thinking this was going to end up like Duke Nukem with how long it has been taking for the team to get this title out to players.
Wright, who just received the fellowship BAFTA (UK’s equivalent to basically a lifetime achievement award for the most part, except this was not exclusive to just video games, so big big nod to Will for getting this), has now been quoted as saying on when Spore’s release will occur, “roughly available in six months time.”
There you have it. Yes, though six months away doesn’t sound that great, and deep down I feel they will probably delay it more (since it is just a quote, not necessarily a press release from EA about it). Still, it is nice to hear some kind of date for the game which they say will take you, “from a single cell to space exploration.”
For no reason other than I just was able to see this clip myself recently and really haven’t had the place to share this with you, here is the latest trailer for the game:
