Darkspore, a new breed of online action-RPG, is coming to PCs in Australia on 31 March 2011, and New Zealand on 1 April 2011 – and a new Producer Diary unleashing the much anticipated Hero Editor is sure to get you amped and ready for the game’s release. Utilising technology from the critically-acclaimed Creature Creator in Spore, Darkspore’s Hero Editor brings a unprecedented level of upgrade customisation to the Action-RPG genre.

Use the Hero Editor to make each of your Heroes unique with loot you’ve collected throughout the game. See statistical advantages and disadvantages of equipped gear in real time to create squads of three tailored to your play style. In addition to upgrading your hero’s stats and abilities, take advantage of the intuitive placement, paint and detail features to get the exact look you want. With a nearly limitless array of combinations at your fingertips, you will have a truly individualised gameplay experience.

Check out the video, and look forward to seeing even more action-packed Producer Diaries and gaining more insight in our Hero Spotlight series as we move forward to the launch of Darkspore!
