by Cartoon Network’s Robot Chicken Available for Download on Launch Day

The Spore universe is expanding with
infinite adventures! Today, Maxis™, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio, announced
that Spore™ Galactic Adventures, the expansion to the critically-acclaimed game
Spore, is now available at North American retailers and will hit store shelves
internationally on June 25th. Designed to expand the Spore universe, Spore
Galactic Adventures delivers hilarious new adventures to players who aspire to
become their own space captain, beam down to strange new planets, create
customized adventures, and take their favorite Spore creature from zero to
galactic hero!

“Spore Galactic Adventures enhances
the Spore experience by blasting players off into space, turning ordinary
creatures into legendary Space Captains,” stated Lucy Bradshaw, VP and General
Manager at Maxis. “For the first time, players can beam their creatures down to
planets to experience all-new adventures or create custom-made missions of their
own and share them with the world. With more than 107 million creations
available in the Sporepedia, the Spore library of user-generated content for use
in players’ missions, the only limit is their imaginations!”

Expanding on the original Spore
game, Spore Galactic Adventures adds variety and fun by allowing players to get
out of their spaceship and explore colorful, wacky new planets. Players will
turn their creatures into space captains, battle epic monsters in intergalactic
arenas and fight intense planet-side races. In each mission, players earn
experience to rank up their captain and earn game-changing items such as the
Plasma Pulser and Swarm Magnet. In the box, the game includes 16 off-the-wall
missions as well as an “Adventure Creator” tool that players can use to design
their own missions. These personally-created missions can be shared with friends
online and can be classed in leaderboards that track accomplishments, rank and
medals earned.

In addition to the adventures in the
box, players can download ten all-new adventures created by the writers of the
outrageously funny, pop-culture parody TV show, Robot Chicken. Available for
free to all Spore Galactic Adventures owners, the Robot Chicken adventures take
players through such wacky quests as a mission to obtain a library card by
finding a ruler-yielding librarian her true love, and an adventure to save a
princess by battling demonic snowmen in a snowglobe. Conceptualized by Robot
Chicken co-creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich, the Robot Chicken Adventures
were imagined by the show’s writing team including Matt Beans, Doug Goldstein,
Mike Fasolo, Breckin Meyer, Dan Milano, Tom Root, Kevin Shinick, Hugh Sterbakov
and Zeb Wells. With such a unique cast of imaginative characters, players can
expect to experience missions with exploding poo, angry yetis, and banana wars.

To support Spore’s dedicated fan
community, www.spore.com 
will feature a bevy of fun content including additional downloadable adventures,
contests and news.

Available for PC and MAC® for
$29.99, Spore Galactic Adventures is rated E10+ by the ESRB. The Robot Chicken
adventures are rated TEEN by the ESRB. As an expansion pack, Spore Galactic
Adventures requires the original Spore game to play.
