Spore in 2007, also on Mobile and Handheld

It's the week of the Game Developer's Conference, which means there's news about Spore. In Mitch Laskey's (former CEO of Jamdat, which has recently been acquired by EA) speech at the conference, Spore was mentioned as one of the games that would be released on mobile phones. Although initially it was said to be out this year, after calling EA representatives GamingSteve found out that it won't be out until 2007. Meanwhile, an interview with Will Wright at RedHerring says that Spore on PC probably won't be out until 2007 either. The team currently consists of 70 developers, and the project will cost about $30 million to complete. The article further discusses innovation in the games industry, and how Wright is able to put his own creativity in the games he creates. An article published in Wired Magazine recently also suggested 2007 as the shipping year for Spore, instead of the earlier late 2006.

In another chat with Will Wright, AdvancedMN was able to find out that Spore is also coming to the PSP and Nintendo DS in 2007. No further details were given yet.

Thanks to SporeSite for some of the links above.
