As of today, one of the most innovative and buzz worthy games of the year has a release date. EA announced that the game "Spore" is slated for release on September 7, 2008. Spore is still TBA on their website, but the home page is current. Eye catching footage of the game has been around for a few years now, and it has been creating a stir. What is appealing is the game play is unlike any game we have seen. Something everyone can appreciate is a date to look forward to on a Maxis game that is not "The Sims".

Here is the teaser trailer released today:

Adobe Flash Player not installed or older than 9.0.115!

Here is a longer teaser from E3, and the character creation/modification user interface.

This video is from 2006 GDCe (35min) an early example of game play:

 Press Release

  "...Maxis today announced that Spore™, the highly anticipated game from the creators of The Sims™, will be available at retailers worldwide the weekend of September 7. Spore will be available for the PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS™, and mobile phones.

“The wait is almost over,” said Maxis Chief Designer Will Wright. “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.”

Spore gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers..."

**update**

A Wii version is planned according to an interview with Newsweek. In addition, the Wii-mote will have specific control implementations.
