CREATE, PLAY AND SHARE WITH SPORE FRANCHISE AS EA UNVEILS DIVERSE SOFTWARE LINE-UP FOR 2009
Four Unique Launches Prove that Possibilities in Spore are as Infinite as the Cosmos

Guildford, UK; January 22, 2009 – The Spore franchise is evolving! With more than 65 million pieces of user-created content shared online, fans from around the globe have gravitated to the game’s powerful creativity-centered experience and massively single-player content sharing site. This year, the award-winning Spore franchise continues to evolve as Maxis, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio announces four new titles, each designed to deliver a unique experience to a specific audience; Spore™ Galactic Adventures, Spore™ Creature Keeper*, Spore™ Hero* and Spore™ Hero Arena*. This roster offers unique gameplay for space hunters, creature creators and action adventurers, proving that Spore has something for everyone – gamers, kids and Nintendo fans alike.

“Last year was a very exciting year for Maxis with the release of Spore. We were overwhelmed by the massive response to the game from the millions of people that created, shared and played in the Spore universe,” said General Manager of Maxis, Lucy Bradshaw. “This year we’re going to experiment with new experiences that extend the powerful creativity tools of Spore to all-new audiences. With the universe as our backdrop, the only limit in the Spore universe is your own imagination.”

The next big bang for Spore on PC comes this spring with the deeply immersive and customizable expansion pack, Spore Galactic Adventures. Spore Galactic Adventures adds a tremendous amount of variety and depth to the original “space game” in Spore, allowing players to beam down to planets, play mission-based adventures and even create their own customized adventures for the first time. Each adventure has a unique reward to upgrade a space creature with special accessories – from an Energy Blade and Stunning Charm to a Jump Jet and more. Players can fight their way to victory as a Warrior, dance with new friends as a Bard, and much more. With an almost unlimited number of user created adventures, there’s more to play than ever before. The “adventure creator” in Spore Galactic Adventures gives gamers the tools to make their own missions and share them with friends via The Official Spore™ and Spore™ Creature Creator Site.

Younger Spore fans will have a blast with the Spore Creature Keeper, a stand-alone PC game that has players nurturing, training and playing with their own personally-created creature. With lots of toys, clothes and gizmos to play with, players can pamper their pets to perfection! With Spore Creature Keeper, fans can play with their creation alone or have a play-date online for endless creature fun. Spore Creature Keeper brings all the fun of creature creation to a new level by adding nurturing, teaching and social components to the experience.

Spore will make its highly-anticipated debut on the Nintendo Wii with Spore Hero, an all-new adventure game focusing on creativity and evolution that was built from the ground up for the unique controls for Wii™. Spore Hero takes players on an exciting adventure through a beautiful, colorful world. Spore Hero Arena for Nintendo DS™ builds on the success of 2008’lalalala Spore™ Creatures and allows players to create fully-3D Spore creatures and take them into battle with an array of other creatures across the galaxy. Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena offer two all-new Spore experiences available exclusively for Nintendo platforms this fall.

SuperAndy · 22-01-2009, 10:56 PM

xDoomsoulx · 22-01-2009, 10:59 PM

Wewt! With swords and beaming down onto planets, looks like im going to have to get ready to make Master Chief (john 117) and OwNz some Grox with that sword

EAUK_Aurora · 22-01-2009, 11:01 PM

No word on dates yet I am afraid, SuperAndy.

ValuJet2564 · 22-01-2009, 11:01 PM

I didnt realize different archetypes got different missions, that would give more purpose to the whole archetypes thing

Zepp95 · 22-01-2009, 11:06 PM

Me either o__O

I just thought they'd have to complete them in a different way, but we'll just have to find out

tangfastic91 · 22-01-2009, 11:45 PM

Woot expansions!

0rion · 23-01-2009, 12:00 AM

hmm im not sure i know EA are a bunch of EAs
doesn't get much worst than that surely
would of said grox but i quite like grox secretly

ThumbsUp1 · 23-01-2009, 08:52 AM

Some of the images look like you can built city wide planets, if so, I'm building that place out of star wars, or cover an entire planet with concrete slabs... anyway can someone confirm if this is true.

Marcolon · 23-01-2009, 03:00 PM

Man i need galactic adventures NOW!

OMG! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!! Now I love Spore even more than before! YEAH! Loveitloveitloveit! There should be REAL Multiplayer in there too though, but hey, you can't have the whole world.
That implies to YOU. YOU can't have the whole world. A species who is supremely superior to humans, like my own, the Shroobs, would easily have the world...

SimSandwich · 23-01-2009, 05:38 PM

Drool...... need Galactic Adventures.

ThumbsUp1 · 23-01-2009, 07:45 PM

poles and deserts, space stations, colonizable gas giants, mines (enterable), jump/warp gates, more stars, deeper creature and tribal stage

ValuJet2564 · 23-01-2009, 10:48 PM

more stars? Isnt their enough already?

Or do you mean more types of stars?

OverlordZim · 23-01-2009, 11:14 PM

If they expand each stage in turn, the last one will feel a bit lacking by the time it gets it's own expansion. But that's probably far in the future right now

ValuJet2564 · 23-01-2009, 11:30 PM

Does cell need expansion ever though?

The expansion order should be:
Space
Tribe
Civ
Creature

[no cell]

And it would be nice to have eternal versions of each stage as well

They could add the extra cell parts they decided to keep from us

But that could be done in a patch or parts pack I suppose

ValuJet2564 · 23-01-2009, 11:55 PM

Thats more an expansion to the editor (which should be available outside of the stage) than the stage itself though, the hidden parts do the same as the standard parts.

OverlordZim · 24-01-2009, 12:10 AM

I know, I know. But still, they look better

Deza007 · 24-01-2009, 07:58 AM

Never. Buying. Another. EA. Game. Again.
Untill. They. Fix. The. Ctr. Alt. Delete. Problem With. Spore.

ValuJet2564 · 24-01-2009, 07:58 PM

Is there one?

Works fine for me...
