The Darth Vader side of Spore?

EA has been spotted trademarking the name Darkspore.

A total of three trademarks have been filed, and were found by superannuation.

Is this the TBA Spore title EA announced during a recent financial report? That game, "Spore Title TBA", is planned for Q4 FY11 (between January - April 2011).

We may find out more during tomorrow's EA earnings call, which will discuss the whole of last year and the road that lies ahead.

Mr. Wright doesn't actually work for Maxis any more though.

Regardless, I would love another Spore. The last one, provided you had the expansion pack, was actually pretty awesome.

@Nuronv
I couldn't agree more, I absolutely loved the idea but it's implementation left me very disappointed.
I don't know whether the concept was too ambitious or they simplified it for wider appeal.

Whatever the reasons it was far from the game I was expecting.
