The day we’d all been waiting for, then grew bored of waiting for, then got excited about again is nearly here.  After years of hype and delay after delay Spore has finally been given a release date. Retailers will have copies of Spore available for PC, Mac, DS, and mobile phones come September 7th. 

The infamous Will Wright is quoted as saying, “We’re in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can’t wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year.” A song and dance we’ve seen before, though never in concert with an actual release date.

Bemoan the long wait all you like, I’m nearly certain that those having given up on Spore, the heretics if you will, will soon be rejoining the fold, frothing at the mouth along with the rest of us for the next 6 months.  Sadly, the hype built up around Spore may be it’s undoing, as nothing short of this game unboxing and installing itself, then proceeding to fulfill your most disgusting, deviant fantasies could possibly live up to the expectations that have been built up around it.

Hit the jump for the full release.
