EA’s Maxis studio has announced that Spore Hero for Wii and Spore Hero Arena for the DS will be available across the US on the 6th of October and a few days later in Europe on the 9th.

Spore Hero sees players setting out on a quest to save their creature’s home planet from destruction. Players will engage in battles set in a vibrant 3D world, solving puzzles along the way to unlock over 250 new creature parts which can also be used to customize creatures in the Spore Creature Creator. The game, which will also feature a multiplayer mode where you can put your creature’s brawling skills to the test, will retail for £39.99.

EA and Maxis have revealed two new entries to the Spore franchise in the form of Spore Hero for the Wii and Spore Hero Arena for the DS, with screenshots accompanying the announcement.

Spore Hero on the Wii aims to deliver the same level of creative freedom as the original Spore on PC, only this time packaged in a story-driven, action-adventure title, as players create their own hero and “embark on an epic quest to save their new home world from destruction as a dark force threatens the planet.”

Spore Hero also features an enhanced version of the Spore Creature Creator, as players are tasked with finding new parts as they go about their adventure to customise their hero and gain access to new abilities.

Spore Hero Arena for the DS, on the other hand, builds on the features found in Spore Creatures (also on DS), placing you and your custom created creature in an arena-based combat game, moving from one planet to another, defeating each planet’s local champion, growing stronger and gaining more abilities along the way.

You’ll also be able to pit your own creature against three friends with the multiplayer options in Spore Hero Arena, or play with a friend over Wi-Fi.
