REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 05, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phenomic(TM), an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:ERTS) studio, today announced
a new competitive pricing strategy on the real-time strategy (RTS) game BattleForge(TM)
that will allow gamers to enter the magical realm at the reduced price
of $29.99. The new pricing is effective immediately in North America.
Additionally, gamers can check out the BattleForge demo on BattleForge.com.
BattleForge comes with four ready-made faction decks based on the
four elements in the game - Fire, Frost, Nature and Shadow and 3000 BattleForge
points. The BattleForge Points allow players to buy an additional
12 booster packs bringing the box total to 160 cards. Players can use BattleForge
Points to purchase new cards in booster packs. Booster packs contain
eight cards - 5 common, 2 un-common, 1 rare or ultra rare, all for just

customize their RTS experience with content that can be purchased at
their own discretion.
In the demo, players start with a random faction deck and have limited
access to maps. Players will have access to sparring ground player
versus player (PvP) battles as well as player versus environment (PvE)
maps. Players will then be able to upgrade to the full product in-game.
"BattleForge is a specialized RTS which has so much more to offer
to the players whether they are straight up RTS fans or collectible card
gamers. The battles are becoming more epic as the players' skills are
advancing," said Producer Michael Krach, "There has never been a better
time to get into the action on BattleForge."
