Kane's Challenge is a brand new feature designed specifically for the Xbox 360 version of Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath. Kane's Wrath features the three classic C&C factions – GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod, and Scrin, but also introduces six all-new subfactions, each with its own unique units and strengths, for a total of nine different armies for you to command.
In Kane's Challenge, the Dark Messiah has placed before you a gauntlet of furious skirmish matches, each with unique victory scenarios, against each of the factions in the game. The idea is simple – pick the faction that best suits your play style and enter the gauntlet, climbing the ranks of the Brotherhood by defeating every other army in head-to-head combat in over 90 different battles. Along the way, you'll unlock achievements and master your chosen army, preparing yourself for online multiplayer battles. Depending on your army of choice, you'll unlock twenty new videos of Kane himself, either congratulating or taunting you along your quest.

During our focus tests, we realized the PC version's Global Conquest metagame didn't translate well to a console controller. However, we still wanted to give 360 gamers something exclusive, so in its place, Kane's Challenge was born, giving fans a unique mode, more battles, more action, and more of the HD video sequences that they love. For newcomers and C&C fans alike, Kane's Challenge is a great way to hone your skills and experience the new factions in Kane's Wrath before taking your game online.
Kane's Challenge wouldn't be called a challenge if it wasn't one, and even console veterans will appreciate this unique mode. As you progress in the gauntlet, each unique challenge from Kane becomes more fast and furious, promising X360 gamers hours upon hours of gameplay.
