Will Wright says Spore is coming in spring 2008

Spore creator Will Wright says the real-time life sim will release on PC in roughly six months time, that’s due spring 2008. But keep in mind ambitious games like these often get delayed, that’s why the previous best guess was Spore arriving between April 2008 and end 2009.

In an interview with Radio 5 Live, Will Wright said: “We have the game fully playable at this point and it’s in final testing. We’ve had to do a lot of testing to make sure that the game is accessible by a wide group of people. I want the people who have played The Sims to be able to play Spore - I don’t want it to be some thing just hardcore gamers play.”

If you’re not familiar with Spore, in the game you start off as a single-cell organism and then create your species at every stage of its evolution, from aquatic to its first steps on land through to tribes then a culture and then finally to explore whole galaxies.
