White Wolf will release the first expansion for its new Vampire the Eternal Struggle 3rd Edition, which was previewed at GenCon (see 'White Wolf Plans GenCon Releases'), in February.  The expansion, titled Sword of Cain, will be a 60 card set.

White Wolf has been pleased with the initial response to VTES 3rd, according to company spokesperson Kelley Barnes-Herman.  The company distributed over twice as many retailer prerelease kits as it expected to, and preorders for the September 6th street date have been good, she said.
