This is a huge surprise to all of us Spore fans!  We’ve been tired of the Spore template challenges taking place at the official Spore site – many deemed that the series was dead.  However, back in May we were given indication that a new Spore title was trademarked by EA – DarkSpore.  Well, come on Saturday, July 24 at 6:00PM (PST), Maxis will be revealing a brand new entry to the Spore series!  Here’s the info from the ComicCon website:
