Maxis' Darkspore To Debut At San Diego Comic Con?
An event listing on San Diego Comic Con's website hints at the possibility of a new Spore game. The event details read: "Video Game Reveal: Maxis Studio -- Maxis Studio (The Sims and Spore video games) has just announced their next project, a brand new, sci-fi action-RPG based on the DNA of Spore. Join key leads from the dev team, Thomas Vu, Paul Sottosanti and Lauren McHugh, for the first game reveal to the public!"
This listing announces everything but the name of the game. A recent trademark search by the Sporebase forums has uncovered a new EA game called Darkspore. Is it the name of the game we'll see? We'll have to wait until the event takes place on Saturday, July 24 to find out.
