While it’s been confirmed for handheld and mobile phones for awhile, Maxis has been touting that the main platform for their upcoming game, Spore, will be PC. But today, during the Games Convention, Maxis revealed that Spore will be coming to consoles as well.
But before you throw your hands in disgust or cheer wildly, the console version of Spore won’t launch with the PC and handheld versions. So while PC and handheld fans will get their hands on Spore first, console players will have to remain patient.
In the end, Maxis sees Spore as a franchise, (surprise!) therefore EA wants the game out to as many people as they can. Considering Maxis’ track record with the SimCity franchise, I wouldn’t be surprised if Spore capitalizes on this game in the same way. In the meantime, check out this video and hope that 2008 doesn’t take too long.
