EA Nederland heeft ons pas geleden uitgenodigd om naar de Gamescom in Keulen, Duitsland te gaan. Daar zijn we bij Darkspore achter gesloten deuren geweest, bij de EA Business Lounge, voor een exclusieve presentatie. Onze preview staat nu online!

We hebben ook presentaties van De Sims 3 Na Middernacht en De Sims Middeleeuwen gezien. De previews voor die spellen vind je in de SimsNetwerk Gamescom 2010 Special.

Hier zijn screenshots en artworks van de nieuwe game Darkspore!

Er waren geruchten dat Darkspore vandaag aangekondigd zou gaan worden. Met dank aan Simprograms voor het doorgeven dat de Darkspore website online is. Ik ben gaan zoeken en kwam een officieel persbericht tegen. Het is zeker interessant.

EA REVEALS DARKSPORE, A NEW SCI-FI ACTION ROLE-PLAYING GAME IN DEVELOPMENT FROM MAXIS STUDIO
Darkspore to Introduce Innovative Character Customization, Gameplay Mechanics and Online Play to Genre

Guildford, UK – July 20, 2010 – MaxisTM, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced the next project in its award-winning portfolio of PC games: DarksporeTM, an online, science-fiction action role-playing game, is currently in development for an early 2011 launch. Darkspore is rich in action and fiction, and is being written and developed by some of the most talented minds in the video game industry.

“Darkspore is inspired in part by the award-winning creature editor tech of Spore, but also in large part from the team’s own passion for gaming and prior experience,” said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of Maxis Studio. "The team has combined these inspirations to produce a unique take on the action RPG genre.”

Darkspore will feature dynamic, fast-paced action as players battle across alien worlds to save the galaxy from the mutated forces of Darkspore in a four-player co-operative and full single-player campaign, as well as intense multiplayer battles. In order to defeat the malicious Darkspore, players will need to collect an arsenal of living weapons - genetic heroes with different combat abilities - and upgrade them with tens of thousands of collectible body parts and armor.
