the binding of isaac

Sequel-sized expansion The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is out on PC March 31, creator Edmund McMillen announced on Twitter over the weekend. It’s set to come to console sometime later on. 

The Binding of Isaac’s third and final DLC Repentance is still coming eventually. Revealed back in 2018, it was originally due out in the first half of 2019. The new release goal is this summer, but on Twitter yesterday creator Edmund McMillen said the ongoing pandemic could delay it further.

The Legend of Bum-bo is heading to PC via Steam on November 12. This prequel to the oft-updated The Binding of Isaac is a puzzle-based deck-building rogue-like adventure that tasks players with finding the titular Bum-bo’s stolen coin. If it’s anything like Isaac, I’ll be playing it for the next decade.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ got its final booster pack update today. Live on Steam and set to come to PS4 sometime in the future, Booster Pack #5 adds items, enemies, and a boss as well as a completely new character. There’s also an extensive list of bug fixes and other small teaks.  

Yesterday, Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth players got to play as Satoru Iwata. The former head of Nintendo died in 2015. Every year since, he’s appeared in the game on December 6, his birthday. Afterbrith never made it to Wii U or 3DS, so was the first time the tribute was on a Nintendo platform.

Staff Writer Heather Alexandra and Video Producer Chris Person recently sat down to leap over pits and get splatted by baddies in the difficult platformer The End Is Nigh. You can watch right here.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth, a major expansion for the game that adds tons of new areas and items, hits PS4 on May 10 for $10.99. It’s supposed to arrive on the same day for Xbox One, as well. No word yet on a Vita version.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is coming sometime in 2016, according to the game’s publisher, bringing official mod support, a bestiary, and more. The game’s latest expansion, Afterbirth, only launched a few weeks back. It’s unclear if this update will cost any money, but the game’s gotten lots of free updates.
