Mechanically Unusual Fighter: As stated above, Bethany uses heart pick-ups to increase the counter to recharge space bar items.However, the soul hearts function to get much more use out of her starting item, and with enough cleared rooms and/or soul hearts picked up, she could have a huge multi-layered tornado of flames that each fires a spectral shot on its own. Magikarp Power: Bethany's inability to pick up soul hearts means that one would have less health over all, and needs to avoid taking damage period to have a good chance at getting an Angel/Devil room for the floor, to say nothing of the fancy dodging required to build up flames with Book of Virtues.Girlish Pigtails: She sports a pair tied up with blue ribbons.Aerith and Bob: The only playable character with a name taken from a town instead of a character.She can spend these hearts to use her active item if it isn't charged. Uniquely, she cannot use soul, black, or immortal hearts, instead adding them to a consumable counter when picked up. She starts with the Book Of Virtues, which summons Wisp familiars that shoot alongside her and block shots, but can be destroyed. The team plans to provide blog posts and updates starting in the second half of October.Debut: AntibirthNamed after the village that was home to Lazarus, Bethany is unlocked by having any combination of 12 soul, black, or immortal hearts during a run. If you want to stay up to date, you can wishlist it on Steam now. You’ll still need a copy of The Binding of Isaac Rebirth to pick up the expansion. McMillen says the game doesn’t have a release date yet, but that the team thinks “end of year is still doable.”Īlthough Repentance is a sequel by nearly all accounts, it isn’t a standalone game. In the announcement post, McMillen says the game is “over 90% done.” The Steam page lists the release date as December 31, 2020, but it’s a placeholder.

THE BINDING OF ISAAC ANTIBIRTH BOSSES MOD
Repentance is based on the massive Antibirth mod for The Binding of Isaac. Instead of opposing the mod, McMillen enlisted the team’s help, bringing them on to flesh out Antibirth and build it into Repentance. We don’t have an official release date yet, but it should be soon. Nicalis is still publishing Repentance, but after a damning report of internal racism and exploitation at Nicalis, McMillen says he won’t be working with the publisher in the future. McMillen, the game’s original creator, teamed up with Nicalis to publish Repentance and The Legend of Bum-bo, a prequel to The Binding Isaac.
THE BINDING OF ISAAC ANTIBIRTH BOSSES UPDATE
The update was teased over two years ago by publisher Nicalis.

Additionally, it’s bringing more than 100 achievements, and over 5,000 room designs. In addition to a fully new path - fit with new chapters, a new final boss, and a new ending - Repentance adds over 100 enemies, 130-plus items, more than 25 bosses, two playable characters, and five challenges. The new content certainly backs those claims. The Steam page goes a step further, saying the game is “bigger than a sequel.” According to creator Edmund McMillen, Repentance is to Afterbirth what Rebirth was to the original Bind of Isaac, only bigger. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is “basically a sequel,” adding new bosses, enemies, and items to the game. Approaching the 10-year anniversary, the game is receiving its final expansion. The Binding of Isaac refuses to die (much to the joy of myself and countless others).
