It looks like we’ll know all about what EA Maxis has in store next for the Spore franchise before the end of the month, as the latest San Diego Comic-Con schedule shows a planned reveal for a new action RPG related to the Spore series.
You can find the brief description for the panel on the official Comic-Con website (via BigDownload), which calls the new game “a brand new, Sci-Fi Action-RPG based on the DNA of Spore.” There are no other details given, so there’s no saying exactly how this game relates to the Spore series (which has already included expansions for the original PC game as well as a platformer spin-off for the Wii).
One possibility is this new action-RPG could be “Darkspore,” the title EA trademarked back in May. We won’t have to wait long to find out for sure, as the EA Maxis Comic-Con panel is set to take place just two weeks from today, on July 24.
