SPORE RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED!

Written on: February 12, 2008 by xDreamache



The release date is September 7, 2008! We just received the email sent out from EA themselves with a "Message from Will Wright" that contains a link to a video teaser.  Here is the message from Will himself...

"Hi, I’m Will Wright and I’m working on a new game called Spore™. You’ve heard of it? Oh, that’s right, you signed up to get the Official Spore Newsletter. According to my notes, we haven’t sent a single newsletter out. Maybe that’s why I’ve been hearing from so many fans wanting some new information on Spore.

While we finish up the game over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more information with you and other fans. As a newsletter subscriber, you’ll be among the first to get new Spore information, screenshots, videos and other cool features from the Spore team. Check out our launch date teaser, and of course you can visit Spore.com for updates anytime.

Thanks again. You’ll hear from us soon."

The release date announcement news piece is here: http://www.spore.com/press_021208.php

Check out the new little teaser here


Please digg this article, let's get it out there!

Spore+Delay=Bad - Feb 12, 2008 06:55 PM

ebgames has the same release date, they also have the box art which looks pretty good.

nod113 - Feb 12, 2008 06:28 PM

strangely, http://info.ea.com/products/title.php?id=660 that site still says that no launch date is announced

Mr. Turtle - Feb 12, 2008 05:37 PM

For some reason I could of sworn that I've heard this date on some other site about 6 months ago...Still too far away though.

lucky711 - Feb 12, 2008 05:22 PM

avmf8 - Feb 12, 2008 04:51 PM

I am still not giving my hopes up since there always can be a delay. Especially with spore.

Shadescythe - Feb 12, 2008 04:06 PM

Bullshit, september thats so long from now

ShadowWolf - Feb 12, 2008 03:41 PM

My only question now is if I'll get the game sooner if I pre-order, or just wait and go buy it at a store.

xPedro - Feb 12, 2008 03:32 PM

My luck is that unlike every other place, school starts here in October first week - September last week. :) Have time to play Spore... after the exams... :(

Hahk32 - Feb 12, 2008 03:25 PM

OMG!!!!!! TEH LULZ!!!

Caitiven - Feb 12, 2008 03:19 PM

Cool. :)

Moome - Feb 12, 2008 03:08 PM

FINALLY!

Bluk0 - Feb 12, 2008 03:00 PM

and I just noticed....I signed up for that newsletter long time ago. Diint receive one:(

Bluk0 - Feb 12, 2008 02:59 PM

finally, all these years of waiting, all these years at watching the same vids again and again, all these years looking at the screenshots, after all these years since day 1 we can finally play the game. :) Now all we have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for September 7 to arrive. This date is for sure, cuz its a set date unlike "early 2008". Kinda sucks how they release it after the summer and the beginning of my next school year:l I guess I have to skip some days of school xD Now all I have to do is get a new computer to play this game haha

SilverRogue - Feb 12, 2008 01:47 PM

Heh, go buy The Witcher to play over the summer. With it's half-an-hour long load times, it'll probably take you all summer to beat it, thus you'll spend less time worrying about Spore, and more time swearing at The Witcher for not loading faster.

Brandinat0r - Feb 12, 2008 01:45 PM

Too bad it is after the vacation. :( I'd rather play it the whole vacation long instead of waiting for it the whole time. And it is way longer then they promised, but still I'm glad it is official.

ShadowWolf - Feb 12, 2008 01:43 PM

You might be right Azkanan, but this is the first time we've ever gotten a newsletter from the official site, and Will did write it himself (I hope). And this is the only time we've ever been given an exact day, so I think... no, I'm not saying it, I'm not about to jinx it now..... OK yeah, you're probably right...

SilverRogue - Feb 12, 2008 01:39 PM

It's sad when there's a release date announced, and it's met with suspicion from the fans. I'm not saying the suspicion isn't well-founded, it's just sad that Spore has gotten to that point.

Alterego - Feb 12, 2008 01:32 PM

HOORAY FOR EA!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY FOR MAXIS!!!!! HOORAY FOR WILL WRIGHT!!!!!!!

Sporetime - Feb 12, 2008 01:31 PM
