Electronic Arts and Maxis today announced that a free downloadable
demo, and complete retail version of the Spore Creature Creator
will be available starting June 17th, 2008.
The Spore Creature
Creator gives Spore fans, and those who are creatively
curious, the first hands-on opportunity to design their own species
and share it with their friends. All creatures designed with the
Spore Creature Creator can be imported into the full retail
version of Spore for PC and Mac when it launches on 5th
September 2008 in Europe and 7th September 2008 in North America.
“We are thrilled to finally be putting the creative tools of
Spore into the hands of players around the world,” said Will
Wright, chief designer, Maxis. “The amazing creations players design
this summer will help populate the game universe we all enter when
Spore ships this September, so in a sense, the Spore
Creature Creator is the birth of Spore.”
The free demo version of the Spore Creature Creator will be
available worldwide via download from
www.spore.com. The demo lets players shape, paint and play with
an unlimited number of creatures, using twenty-five percent of the
creature-making parts from Spore. Gamers can then share these
creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube.
The demo will also be included in the The SimCity Box, which
ships on June 23rd, 2008.
A complete retail version of the Spore Creature Creator will
also be available in North America for $9.99 and most European
territories for €9.99, which gives players access to all the
creature-making parts in the game.
Spore, the highly anticipated game from the creators of
The Sims, gives players their own personal universe in a box.
Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations,
sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers.
Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly
every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and
even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with
the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers. |
