Darkspore
Remember Spore? The creature creation game from Maxis (the Sims creators) and honcho Will Wright? It was a bit disappointing, but still sold well for uber publisher EA, so what’s next for the franchise?
Well, funny you should ask – because EA are launching Darkspore. Not Spore 2. It won’t be the bright, friendly game that Spore was, but will use the mechanics Spore built and hopefully the lessons learned.
“Darkspore is inspired in part by the award-winning creature editor tech of Spore, but also in large part from the team’s own passion for gaming and prior experience,” said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of Maxis Studio. “The team has combined these inspirations to produce a unique take on the action RPG genre.”
Darkspore will feature dynamic, fast-paced action as players battle across alien worlds to save the galaxy from the mutated forces of Darkspore in a four-player co-operative and full single-player campaign, as well as intense multiplayer battles. In order to defeat the malicious Darkspore, players will need to collect an arsenal of living weapons – genetic heroes with different combat abilities – and upgrade them with tens of thousands of collectible body parts and armor.
Basically this is Spore, but aiming at a Starcraft II generation. Expect to see it early 2011.
