Though there are many major real-time strategy games out there, very few are based on the collectible trading cards system. Now Electronic Arts (EA) has sent word about a new fantasy online real-time strategy game called as BattleForge. It lets the gamers bring together their own army with collectible trading cards.
Richard Leinfellner is the vice president and executive producer at Electronic Arts. He mentions, “BattleForge is the next step in gripping RTS gameplay by taking the battles completely online. 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.”
BattleForge allows players to mix and match the elements of their cards to play with your friends online and conquer massive online battlegrounds. This is what EA had to say about BattleForge:
- 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 being developed by Electronic Arts’s Phenomic Studio, which is based in Germany. The real-time strategy game is expected to be out in the fall season of this year. The title will be released for the PC platform. BattleForge seems to be an interesting game, especially its collectible trading cards system.
