Electronic Arts sent word today that an open beta for the Phenomic-developed card based RTS title BattleForge will kick off on November 7. To access the beta, interested parties can head on over to the game’s official website to register, or pre-order BattleForge from any participating retailer, such as GameStop, EBGames.

”After three years in development, we are very excited to open the game to a mass audience and see how people play. It’s going to be a great process watching players experience the revolutionary concept of creating their own armies and teaming up on a massive scale in RTS,” said Volker Wertich, Creative Director.

The full game is scheduled to ship in early 2009 for PC.
