BattleForge Announced

ea-logo In a surprising move, EA has announced BattleForge, an online real-time strategy game that has players assembling their forces and fighting through virtual trading cards. The game is in development at EA Phenomic, the studio behind SpellForce and Siedler, for release this Fall.

As with other online trading card games, players will be able to win and trade cards, as well as buy new cards through micro-transactions, which seems to be the new rage these days. However, the company notes that the retail release of BattleForge will be the “complete game” and that micro-transactions won’t be necessary to experience the full game.

“BattleForge is the next step in compelling RTS gameplay by taking the battles completely online,” said executive producer Richard Leinfellner. “With co-op play, challenging tournaments, Guilds, chat rooms and a robust marketplace for trading and buying your cards,” he continued, “BattleForge is the first RTS to add integral social and community components to an exciting fantasy RTS.”
