Spore Galactic Adventures

Spore Galactic Adventures (also known a Spore Space Adventures) is a Spore Expansion Pack set to be released on March 17 - May 21st. There is also a rumor that it will cover all countries eventually. One of its new features will be the ability for your Creature to move around outside the UFO, as well as new missions that will require you to use this ability. Creatures then will be able to use social and offensive abilities on others, like the Creature stage. The textures and graphics are going to be more complex with the Adventure creator. Maxis will have about 20 different premade adventures.

Delay
Spore has now been delayed until the 21st of May, for US, however the true release date has always been uncertain. Spore Galactic Adventures was going to be originally released in February, then March 17th and now May 21st for reasons unknown, possibly to add new features, rid certain glitches or increase more user hype. It may have even been delayed to 26th of June in the UK and possibly the rest of Europe. The true release date is still unknown.

Planet Editor/Terrain editor
A new ability will allow players to create their own planets, perhaps star systems as well, and will be able to choose whether their planet will be a snowy or a fiery planet using templates provides ingame. Spore's Planet editor was originally in Spore but was cut out, and the planetary editor should not be confused with terra-sculpting tools. Along with Planet Editor, players will be able to modify their planets, and have more advanced cities. Planets can be edited using stamps such as lava lakes which the creature will be damaged by if unlucky enough to stray into one. Players will also be able to choose which flora they want on a planet. Planet editor works in a similar manner to developer tools.
