Keep an eye on what the former Maxis employees are working on.

Ocean Quigley has been involved in a simulation game called Jelly Grade, which looks a bit like the Cell Stage, only in a much more dynamic and realistic way.

My own thoughts is that a Spore sequel is exceedingly unlikely, though it is possible some of Spore's technology and ideas and have and will get made into other games.

Then there are some games out there, which while they don't capture all of Spore's vision, are remarkably like parts of it, and in many cases far better. Both Space Engine and the upcoming No Man's Sky are like the Space Stage in Spore, SE being realistic and NMS being like the gameplay. The game Species: Artificial Evolution is a proper evolutionary simulator (the website even says "Not like Spore!", it has much more realistic evolution and species interaction).
