They quit maintaining the game long time ago and now when EA, or even Maxis itself, has closed down Maxis' main studio and split the rights and employees to other studios. I don't see why they would create another sequel to an abandoned title considering by the circumstances and what EA presented in their E3 conference.

It is sufficient to say that Spore itself is good as dead. But its fandom and community is still to present day alive and active, as long they don't pull the plug off the main servers.

On the bright side... There are clones out there.
