Oh, sure,
Spore's a nice enough guy. But ... don't you sometimes wish he had a
bad streak? You've always been attracted to the lone wolf, the rebel, the ne'er-do-well -- that goody-two-shoes
Spore wouldn't know the first thing about satisfying your desire for unwholesome behavior. You know who does? His
edgy twin brother,
Darkspore.
At least, we're
assuming EA's recently registered
trio of trademarks for "
Darkspore,"
discovered by Superannuation, are reserving the title for the franchise's next, considerably darker iteration. Is it possibly the
Spore title hinted at in EA's
Q3 2010 financial report? Or is it an unexpected evil twin, making a soap operatic surprise entrance? Only time (and possibly EA's press conference
at E3) will tell.
