Creatures 4 is coming, this time for real. People have mixed feelings about it, though. It is made by a new dev team, they named it "Creatures Online" so people are not scared away like "omg, the FOURTH already? " and some other things.
It will come out for android and iOS for example. And there will be a currency for some objects n features, kinda like C3 bioenergy I guess. That currency will be rather rare, though, and the easiest way to get it is spending real life currency on it.
Regarding the fact that the game itself will be free, people are afraid that it might turn into free-to-play-pay-to-win.
