16 years later, Spore returns with new developers and a promise to "honor" the god sim's history but no sequel or "major updates"

Spore revolutionized the sim genre when it released back in 2008, capturing the attention of countless players worldwide - but 16 years later, there's still no sight of a sequel.

Unfortunately, it looks as though nothing about that will change anytime soon. A brand-new announcement on the game's official website, the first in literal years, sparked false hope in longtime fans' hearts. The post announces the recent onboarding of two new developers and the creation of an official Discord server for Spore. While it seems like it could mark the path toward a potential sequel or update reveal, it sadly doesn't.
