EA today announced BattleForge, a fantasy on-line RTS title in which you assemble an army using collectible trading cards.

"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."

BattleForge is being crafted in Germany by EA Phenomic and is coming to PCs this coming Autumn.
