EA RTS BattleForge has become the first title to “leverage Microsoft’s DirectX 11 and AMD’s new ATI graphic processor chipset,” the publisher said this morning.

This is a “significant first for the title,” according to EA. You can play the game for free right here.

RTS card game Battleforge is to get a new card expansion called the Renegade Edition, so the official site says.

You’ll get 60 new units and structure creating cards along with “dual orb cards and special affinities” that “will deepen and enrich the strategical possibilities of the decks and the combat itself.”

The expansion will hit sometime on August.

Thanks, BigDownload.

On IGN. The Phenomic-developed, card-based RTS is in open beta at the moment, and will release at the end of March.

Looks swish. We saw this at EA’s UK event last summer and there was plenty of promise.

EA’s put the open beta for Phenomic’s BattleForge live, meaning any man and his dog can now get involved in testing the card-based fantasy RTS.

Beta players will have access to all 200 cards and all maps in the game. Everyone who takes part will get a bonus, upgraded Firedancer unit to be made available after launch.

You can’t say no to that, can you? Hit this to have a waz. It’s out for PC on March 27 in Europe, March 24 in the US.

Phenomic has flung open the doors to the beta for upcoming card-based RTS game, BattleForge.

Game’s live March 26, and for participating in the beta, you get a upgraded Firedancer card as reward. Can’t say fairer than that.

Here’s how. Go to the site, download the client, create an EA account (unless you already have one), let it patch, log in with EA account, create a character, play the game.

Easy as pie.

EA’s opened beta registration to card-based RTS Battleforge: hit the official site if you want to get involved.

The game sees the player throwing cards onto the battlefield to add troops to combat, and was shown for the first time at EA’s London preview event earlier this year.

It’s supposed to be out this year, but there’s no fixed date on it as yet.

EA has announced its Games Convention line-up revealing that Harmonix’s Rock Band 2 will be shown for the first time.

EA reckons it’s “best ever product line up for European consumers this holiday and in 2009″ and as we’ll be able to confirm that for you when our full coverage gets under way tomorrow.

From the release:

On show in Leipzig are Europe’s best selling franchises and consumer favorites like FIFA, Need For Speed, The Sims and Harry Potter, a wide range of casual and family titles for Nintendo platforms including LITTLEST PET SHOP, Boogie SuperStar, Zubo and MONOPOLY, brand new IP like SimAnimals, Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, Dragon Age: Origins, Battleforge, Spore, the new MMORPG Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning, and EA partner titles Left 4 Dead from Valve, Rock Band and Rock Band 2 from MTV Games/Harmonix and Crysis Warhead® from Crytek.

Never before has EA had such a diverse and powerful slate of offerings, and it’s been great to see consumer and critical response to our games,” said Jens Uwe Intat, senior EA VP.

“As more and more people come into interactive entertainment, we are ready with the best games in sports, action, casual, horror, simulation, and online. We’ll be bringing more new games to market this year than in our history, and Leipzig is a great European window to showcase those offerings for the broad range of people that love to play them.”

Full thing after the jump.

Shots here, video interview here. Battleforge is a newly announced online-only, card-based PC RTS from EA Phenomic. It’s nowhere near as stupid as it sounds, honestly. Take a look.

It’s on Gamershell. We’ve got an interview to transcribe on this, so we’ll do that later. The online-only, card-based EA RTS was looking very neat when we saw it, so do take a look at the footage.

EA’s put out a press release making first mention of BattleForge, a card-based, online-only RTS from Germany studio EA Phenomic.

“BattleForge is the next step in compelling RTS gameplay by taking the battles completely online,” said dev boss 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.”

Sounds fun. You’re going to hear a lot more about this in the next few weeks, so keep your ears open. Full press release after the link.
