Darkspore releasing in late March, character editor shown

Maxis has set a date for Darkspore, and it’s not long off at all: March 29 is the big day.

This news was tucked away in Big Download’s exclusive video of the game’s hero editor. If you were wondering where the “Diablo plus Spore” nickname stems from, your answer lies within. The robust creature creator from Spore is back and looking better than ever in Darkspore.

I can hardly wait to see what horrors YouTube posters will come up with.
