During a behind-closed-doors demo ofSporeat this year’s Leipzig Game Convention, Maxis’ Patrick Buechener has confirmed that console versions of Will Wright’s ambitious title are likely.
This should surprise no one — seeing how Electronic Arts and Maxis have milked theSimsfranchise should have been enough to tip anyone off regarding the future ofSpore. While the console versions of the game will not ship alongside the PC and Nintendo DS versions, the game should evolve into a console game before too long. And a board game. And a fruit snack.
There’s still no solid release date, but 2008 seems likely. Weren’t we saying that about 2007 last year?
