Recent rumors have suggested that Will Wright's evolution sim, Spore, will possibly see another delay, this time into 2009; the game's release has already been pushed back once until sometime next spring 2008. However, Electronic Arts was quick to point out that this speculation currently holds little ground, being based on misconstrued information.

There has yet to be a firm announced released date for Spore. An "early fiscal '09" release means that the game could theoretically launch in spring 2008.

The rep said that the rumor of the additional delay was exacerbated by a quote making the rounds in the games press lifted from the latest issue of Game Informer which says that the game is "delayed indefinitely." Apparently, the information from the conference call was misconstrued, the rep determined.

"It’s the same information we said in May. Spore’s progressing and it looks great," she added.
