Spore delayed until at least 2008 …possibly until 2009

The reason why Electronic Arts will miss its estimated profits for this fiscal year? Well other than the wider quarterly loss, it’s because an anticipated game won’t be coming out, at least not until this current fiscal year ends by March 2008. The anticipated game that is delayed? Spore.

A Reuters report notes that EA has said that it was no longer counting on revenue from Spore for this fiscal year. What’s worse is that EA adds that the game could be delayed until fiscal 2009.

A lot of hopeful folks are now screaming “NOOOO…” A lot of the more cynical ones are making jokes about the game being bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.

So sad, this is.
