April 29, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that the
multi award-winning EA Phenomic Studio based in Germany is developing
BattleForgeTM, a new fantasy online real-time strategy game where you assemble
your own army with collectible trading cards. Win, trade and buy your cards
online to create your ultimate deck.* Mix and match the elements of your cards
to play with your friends online and conquer massive online battlegrounds.
For mortals caught in a clash between insane gods and ancient giants, standing
together is the only option. Using the forces of Fire, Frost, Nature and Shadow
a mysterious Forge which makes legends come to life, is their single hope to
create armies powerful enough to overcome these impossible odds. It is now time
to set out and reclaim an epic fantasy world which has been overthrown by
sinister powers in the twilight of a dying sun.
“BattleForge is the next step in compelling RTS gameplay by taking the battles
completely online,” stated Executive Producer & Vice President Richard
Leinfellner. “With co-op play, challenging tournaments, Guilds, chat rooms and a
robust marketplace for trading and buying your cards; BattleForge is the first
RTS to add integral social and community components to an exciting fantasy RTS.”
Under development at EA Phenomic, BattleForge is expected to ship in Fall 2008
for the PC. This product is not yet rated by PEGI or ESRB.
