Spore is the brainchild of Sims creator Will Wright, and sees players begin life as a simple microbe trying to survive. From there, the single-cell creature gradually evolves from its microscopic origins into an intelligent, tool-using race. Players guide their species as it builds (and the player designs) villages, buildings, cities, and vehicles.
Hopes for a 2007 release have now been dashed however, thanks to the game slipping out of EA's plans for the current financial year. Nonetheless, EA's enthusiasm for the title is high, with EA bigwig John Riccitiello reassuring analysts, "Spore is a title we have enormous confidence in. I've had the chance to review the title three times in my short return to EA, and it looks fantastic.
"I will also tell you that its release will be right up [to] the bubble in Q4 [of fiscal '08], if not sometime in early fiscal '09, so we don't feel comfortable in forecasting it."
