Re: spore 2

Hi @sporeguy98

Thanks for your wonderful feedback and enthusiasm for this game. Unfortunately I must tell you there will be no successor.

The developer studio was closed many years ago, Maxis Studio is no longer available for Spore and therefore there will be no sequel.

Thanks for playing Spore. Only through the fanbase will this game always live

    I know these are spin-offs, but there was 2 other spore games.

    Darkspore, which was an MMO that got shutdown, like Need for Speed World. - http://darkspore.com/

    and Spore Hero, which is a Wii game. XD - http://www.spore.com/what/wii

    If you like the look of darkspore, I highly recommend downloading and installing the Spore mod, "Dark Injection" which gives the UI a darkspore style, and adds a ton of Darkspore parts to the creature creator.

    I hope this will satisfy your want for more spore.

    can't another studio just pick up the ip lol

  • well i mean it wouldn't be that easy to just pick it up, even though maxis is no longer EA would have to transfer data and spend tons of money getting it ready again. there really isnt a point in picking it up again. but i mean if you think its that easy why dont you pick it up? try to at least

    @Freggi-Liz Maxis Did NOT Shutdown At All Since It Still Releases Addons To Sims 4 And The Fact That "Many Years Ago" Is 5+ Years Ago Would Make You Saying Many Years Ago Incorrect Since Sims 4 Was Released 2014/15.

    Yes, I know that the Maxis Studio still exists. They only work and develop for Sims series

    At that time there were two teams, some work on the Sims, others make games like Spore and Darkspore.
    Exactly this Developer team from Spore, which was really specific and no longer exists. The management with Will Wright, Lucy Bradshaw, Thomas Vu, Dan, Guillaume Pierre lead gameplay scripter left the team gradually.

    These developers are no longer there. The game is too complicated for many to develop and costs too much money.

    Have you ever wondered, why there has been no update or successor to Spore since those days!

    EA closed Maxis headquarters in Emeryville, California 2015

  • There was a thing that was promoting the Wii game, it was called SPORE Creature Creator 2D, shortly, Spore2D. Right now there's no way to access the flash game.

  • @Freggi-Liz Liz an quick question do you know how many would be to buy the rights of spore so the fanbase can make an sequel?

    It would be nice if they handed the spore community the game's internal devkit. So that we could go through it's source code and fix whatever problems the game has ourselves, maybe also make better mods with it too.

    A sequel isn't impossible. EA/Maxis doesn't have to start from scratch, they could use what they have now and build upon it and fill in the gaps. This could be done by another studio if it has to (I'm sure EA could gather up a handful of the old dev team to help the new team with whatever old tools or assets that needs elaborating)
