EA dropped a press release today dating Spore worldwide for the weekend of September 7th, 2008. The game will be available for PC, Mac, Nintendo DS, and Mobile Phones.

“The wait is almost over,” said Maxis Chief Designer Will Wright. “We’re in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can’t wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year.”

I’m not too sure how the game will play out on mobile phones. Spore seems a bit too deep and complex for the platform. Either way, I can’t wait to get my hands on the final game this fall on my MacBook Pro.

Here’s the full press release:
