Update 4 - First Big Update



Hey Everyone,

It`s been a great launch week - many new players have discovered the game during this time, but more importantly thousands of old players came back to the game! Myself and others from our small team had a great time playing games with many of you, and chatting in-game. Thanks for all the feedback, suggestions and reviews!

With launch craziness behind us, we are switching from daily hot fixes to bigger updates every few days, and we are happy to introduce our first major update to KW2DE - 1.4!

Keep in mind that you will need to update the game in order to continue playing in online mode.

Thanks again for supporting the game - please consider leaving us some feedback on the forums or review sections. We`d love to hear from you what we are doing right, and what still needs out attention.

We are looking forward to staying in touch with you in the game chat all day long, as well as on our forums.
