Darkspore - News

Another Darkspore beta!

On the official Darkspore forums I found this important message:

An exclusive EA Store (http://eastore.ea.com) Darkspore beta will be open from Friday 12PM PDT through Sunday evening. If you already have Darkspore, feel free to hop on in! There is no patch for this beta and all progress has been preserved.

An open beta will start April 12th and run through April 22nd. We have a nice set of patch notes for that one :). Accounts will be reset for the open beta.

New SporeNetwork design!

With Darkspore being released this month, we decided to give SporeNetwork a new look. A somewhat darker design for both Darkspore and Spore. If you don't like this dark theme, you can still go to your account (yes, members only) and choose the old "Spore" theme. As for the forums, I haven't had time to create a matching forum theme yet, but I'll work on that one very soon. Enjoy the new theme!

Darkspore - Beta Keys Giveaway!

I have been able to play the Darkspore beta ever since it opened about a month ago. I got a key through Maxis, but also several keys through EA Netherlands. I mainly gave away these keys to my team members, so I didn't offer them on SporeNetwork. However, I got a new batch of beta keys from EA! If you are interested in playing the Darkspore beta, but don't have a beta key, contact me through our contact page! We'll contact you a.s.a.p. about the beta keys!

Darkspore is PC only

Maxis announced that Darkspore is for PC users only. There will not be a Mac version at the release date:

Darkspore is a PC-only game at launch. No other platforms have been announced.

So there's the "official" line. The unofficial line is very simple: we love the Mac! Many of us are Mac users! There are several Macs in the studio! Yay Mac! But ... we have only announced on the PC.
