The Denver-based (the US) indie games publisher Versus Evil and the Cluj-Napoca-based (Romania) indie games developer Breadcrumbs Interactive, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the “Roots of evil” DLC for their dark action-RPG “Yaga” (the “Roots of Evil” DLC to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) for $9.99 / €9.99.

In ‘Roots of Evil’, Ivan will make use of new crafting opportunities, weapons and new magic items to help him on his new quest. Players will also get access to a new tool, the Pickaxe, used both for combat and exploration as well as two new metals for crafting, a new set of enhancements and other items.

“We’re excited to invite console players to explore the new challenging chapter to Ivan’s story. ‘Roots of Evil’ adds to the darkly twisted and hilarious narrative of the game with quests filled with adventure and choices, as well as a quirky cast of new characters to discover, embrace or keep at arm’s length.” Said Catalin Zima Zegreanu, Game Director at Breadcrumbs Interactive.

In addition to today’s new Roots of Evil DLC, new monsters have also been added to the base game as well, namely Spider Mother and Spiderlings. For those players that suffer from Arachnophobia, there is an option to replace them with a mythical goat mother and goat kids. This is topped off by various balancing and improvements to the combat and exploration of the base game of Yaga as well.

The ‘Roots of Evil’ DLC is available on Xbox One, Xbox X|S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch from today.

About Yaga
Yaga’s darkly funny narrative and action role-playing premise tells the story of Ivan, a one-handed blacksmith with incredibly bad luck, who must take on the impossible tasks given to him by the tzar. Mysterious witch, Baba Yaga, keeps a keen eye over Ivan’s fate as he mashes a variety of wretched monsters and legends inspired by the disparate myths and pagan beliefs of unsettling Slavic folk tales.
