Spore expansion pack coming this year?

The alien evolution sim game Spore was released just last month but Electronic Arts might be trying to quickly launch an expansion pack for the game before the end of the year. Fan site Hooked on Spore has discovered that both Gamestop and Amazon's web site has listings for such an expansion pack.

While these listings have sinc been removied, Google still has a cache image of the pages which have a Spore "Cute & Creepy Parts Pack" expansion listed as shipping on Nov. 18 for $19.99. The title suggests that this addition will simply be new parts that you can add to the creature stage in the game and will not have any new gameplay. The removal of the listings may be due to a delay in its release or that EA just doesn't want to play its hand yet.

I don't doubt it, especially if it's just cosmetics. Hire one monkey modeler to just crank stuff out every day and you've got a license to print money on a quarterly schedule. It's going to be difficult to buy the 4 expansions a year that will likely come, if gameplay additions don't come in the next one.Posted at 7:34PM on Oct 3rd 2008 by Sokkratez

A Creature pack could very easily "expand" the gameplay, for instance allow u to dig (unlikely) but u get the idea. New Parts with New Abilities!Posted at 11:29PM on Oct 7th 2008 by Tim
