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.

I’ve been waiting.
Why isn’t this on upcoming games?
They’ve yet to announce it.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! But… knowing EA it’ll probably be a flop, until Spore 3. Just kidding, I’m so excited to see what will come from this.
I think it’ll be a console game again and with my previous comment, some sort of action figure-like accompaniment. Maybe augmented reality!!
Hmmm… I think this will be something like Wii Spore Hero for PC. Because i read somwhere that Will Wright wanted to relase Spore hero too for PC but with other name andin year 2011.
What a great resource!
I hope this new one doesn’t suck. 🙁
My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
I don’t want a sequel to Spore!
Because then people will stop playing the original Spore which is awesome!
If it’s an expansion pack or spin-off, it’s fine.
But no sequels… then the original game is ignored!
Spore shouldn’t have a sequel.
It should have more EXPANSION PACKS!!!
sporesculptor, your right? haven’t you ever get stuck by a bug in spore?
If maxis can get it better than the first its fine. But if not its waste of time..
