Patch 1.02 for Kane’s Wrath is now available to download using the ingame auto-updater or manually form the website here. You can also view the entire changelist here.

Here’s what you can expect from this patch:

A strong follow-up to the epic 1.01 patch, this patch 1.02 is squarely aimed at making “numerous” economic balance changes across all 9 factions. These are very targeted balance changes which will bring Kane’s Wrath to a new-level of competitive play. Happy Holidays to our huge family of Kane’s Wrath fans, we’re looking forward to the resurgence Commanders!

The final 3rd qualification round of the Kane’s Wrath Ladder Season came to a close late last month, granting 16 more top players from the ladder a spot in our upcoming Grand Championship tournament! They will join the qualifiers from Round 1 and 2 in an epic 32-player tournament battle. This is the big one Commanders, the world’s best Kane’s Wrath players from our official ladder will all converge online for a shot to win $6,000 and be crowned our official 2008 Kane’s Wrath World-wide Champion. It doesn’t get much bigger than that for competitive Command & Conquer players around the world, and many of the world’s best will be competing in our grand tournament.
