Electronic Arts has poured cold water on reports that Maxis received collaborative input from fellow EA studio BioWare for its new Darkspore title.
According to an EA publicist speaking to GamePro, Maxis is working with Malcolm Azania, a writer who also worked on Mass Effect 2 at one stage, but "that's the extent of it".
Darkspore, due out in February 2011, is a fast-paced online action RPG with four-player co-op and multiplayer options. It looks a bit Diablo-esque.
