EA announces the Battleforge Website is now accepting signups from those interested in beta testing Battleforge, Phenomic's upcoming game that combines elements of collectible card games and real-time strategy. The game is set to launch early next year, and the beta is slated to kick off on November 7, and players in North America looking to guarantee a slot in the beta can preorder the game. Word is: "In BattleForge, players use virtual trading cards to build the perfect army and lay waste to their foes. The cards are the tools of war each representing a unit, building or spell that is conjured directly onto the RTS battlefield. They enable you to customise and combine factions, and play with a unique army of your own design. With no base building and production queues BattleForge players are instantly immersed into fast-paced RTS action."
