Nicalis have announced the release date for the DLC expansion for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, dubbed The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
The expansion is toted as “bigger than a sequel” and “the ‘final’ update” to the game, it brings new content to the rougelike top-down shooter. This includes over 500 hours of gameplay, over 130 new items (for a total of over 700), over 100 new enemies, over 25 new bosses, 2 new playable characters, 5 new challenges, and over 5,000 new rooms.
The DLC also adds an alternate path with new chapters, a new final boss, and ending. Nicalis also tease the new trailer may have some secrets hidden within in it.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance launches Q1 2021 on PC and consoles. Curiously, the game’s Steam page description erroneously states it is Q2 (though the release date on the page itself states Q1).
