EA and Maxis today revealed Darkspore, an on-line sci-fi action RPG that's coming to PC in early 2011 and will apparently feature 'dynamic, fast-paced action'.

"Darkspore is inspired in part by the award-winning creature editor tech of Spore, but also in large part from the team’s own passion for gaming and prior experience," said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of Maxis Studio. "The team has combined these inspirations to produce a unique take on the action RPG genre."
