Breaking news for the Spore fans!  We’ve been wondering what Maxis has been working on for some time now.  For the most part, we have assumed it to be Spore Creature Keeper, a game aimed at the younger audience which mixes elements of Spore and The Sims.  However, EA filed 3 new trademarks (trademark 1, trademark 2 and trademark 3) for the name ‘DarkSpore‘ earlier this week, indicating that this may be the next game in the Spore franchise.

All we can do now is give assumptions and guesses.  Could this be a new spinoff?  The sequel to Spore?  Will it be the coined ‘scientific’ version of Spore that we saw during 2005?  Who knows, it could be anything at this point!  EA won’t give anything away at this moment, but we’re hoping to hear more as they may make a mention during their financial report on May 11th.

Keep tuned to SporePrograms for any Spore development as I’m on this like a fat kid on cake.  And I speak for experience about that.
