Can't wait for September 7? Creature-only Spore to launch sooner
EA is releasing a separate
SKU for a creature-editor edition of
Spore even earlier than its
September 7 game launch. The company confirmed with us that the stand-alone product will let players begin creating crazy creatures, although it won't include other components of
Spore's Creature Phase. Those creatures will then be able to be used in the full version of
Spore.
EA didn't give any more specific details about when the creature-editor-only
Spore will be released and its cost. Here's hoping it's a free download available, umm, yesterday. There's time travel in
Spore, right?
