EA has finally announced what will be the date when Spore will be released: 7 September 2008. It'll be out worldwide that weekend. Some countries may already receive the game in the days before the seventh. First and foremost there is a PC and Mac version, which are both equal. Besides that EA is also working on a version of Spore for the DS, and another for Mobile phones, both of which will probably be very different from the PC/Mac game. Other versions have not yet been announced, though GameSpot reported in October last year that at least a Wii version is also in the making.

We have also confirmed that this date, 7 September, will not change unless there are drastic reasons to do so. A release date announcement trailer has been posted at the official site. An American and Australian newsletter (both with the same text, different layout) has also been sent out, showing the new logo of the game and a message from Will Wright.
