AUSTIN, Texas, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Indie publisher, Versus Evil, is proud to announce they have added two new titles to their lineup: Kyn and a game based on the Afro Samurai animated series. The team also announced plans to launch Habitat on Steam's Early Access program on July 8th and that The Banner Saga will be launching on mobile devices this summer.  Finally, a vastly improved Dragons and Titans was also on display at their inaugural press event, showcasing the latest game updates, the newly released Act 4 story driven adventure mode, and the latest weapon and dragon releases.
