The BattleForge Website announces EA Phenomic's collectible card-based RTS game is now available in North American retail stores and for digital distribution Thanks Gamer's Hell. With beta testing ended, they offer a link to a playable demo, and instructions on how to redeem any promotional codes:

The big day for our Skylords in North America has arrived! The full retail version of BattleForge is available in stores and also as download from online retailers. If you have received any promotional codes for cards for preorders, you can redeem them by entering the code at the in-game marketplace. Note that these cards won't be added to your collection automatically, you have to collect them in your in-game mailbox.

All beta players get their Firedancer card. To get it, you must redeem your full product key on the same EA Account you played the beta with. For example, if you played the beta on the EA Account battleforgebetaplayer@hotmail.com, you have to play with the same mail address to get the special, upgraded Firedancer. You'll find the Firedancer card in the card collection of your first character.

You can take a short tour of the World of Nyn with the BattleForge demo. You can unlock the full version of the game from the demo by entering a retail code.
