They're doing a rebalance pass on items. It is pretty wonky that you can currently break over half of all games if you're prepared to put the time to grind every floor out.

DD: Fondly regard abomination.

I hope they rebalance the super meat boy/super bandage girl unlocks, trying to get them without some level of breaking run is miserable - you basically just have to grind with Lilith.

That all sounds great but I'm most excited to hear Mewgenics is still in the works.

I wonder if Camdrone was or had anything to do with the canceled horror/Snap game.

Joking aside, have they mentioned anything about changing up the curses at all? I've not been paying too much attention to what they've announced because a) I'll buy it anyway, and b) theres no current date for PS4 release, so no point getting too excited yet anyway. The curses are a lot higher up my wishlist of possible fixes than stuff like "rebalancing curse of the tower", they are just rarely interesting or challenging in a fun way, and mainly just a waste of the players time.

Huh, that looks kinda like a new design for Edith, a cut Antibirth character. Since that "17+ playable characters" definitely hints at a hidden character, they might actually implement her, which could get kind of crazy if they stick to the original plan for that character.

What was the original plan for that character?

Edit: Oh you probably mean the teleporting thing listed on the wiki not that there was some other plan before that.

Yes, that's what I meant. If they actually manage to make a character with that movement style not entirely miserable to play, I'll be seriously impressed.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

After this there's a decent chance I'll have spent more time in my life playing the various Isaacs than any other single thing...

Technically eight years but I was lucky enough to start playing it in beta and stuck with it ever since (with 6 months off every now and then).

With all the changes coming to BOI, it may rocket to the top of my list.

Bullshit! How come they get it sooner :D

Guess I'll set my alarm for 3!

I'm almost as excited for this as I was for when Rebirth originally came out. I wasn't as excited for Afterbirth or +, for them it was more like "oh cool more stuff". And of course + arguably made the game worse.

One final blog post, with an FAQ that doesn't really reveal anything new:

Edmund McMillen posted:

Repentance launches in 12 hours!!!!! i thought it was best to do an indepth FAQ since there tends to be a lot of questions when it comes to Repentance...

Q: When does Repentance launch?
A: 12 hours from this post, doesn't matter where you are in the world, in 12 hours it will be set live.

Q: Do i need all previous DLCs to play Repentance?
A: YES, you need Rebirth, Afterbirth AND Afterbirth+ in order to purchase and play Repentance.

Q: Is Repentance just the Antibirth mod?
A: NO, Repentance features an updated version of Antibirth with tons of new content that basically double the content that the mod featured, not to mention 100s of updates to gameplay, items music and art!

Q: Is Repentance coming to console?
A: YES! Repentance will be coming to Switch, Ps4, Ps5 and Xbox! the game is actively being ported now and should have a staggered release started later this year. ( special edition retail version of the full collection are also in the works! )

Q: Are mods supported in Repentance?
A: Not at launch, mod support will be disabled for a bit, but will be supported again in an update coming soon.

Q: I see Repentance has co-op, is this online co-op or local?
A: technically its local ( meaning 2-4 players using the same pc ) but you can make it online via Steams Remote Play Function .

Q: Should i continue off an existing save or start a new save when playing Repentance?
A: if you want to see new mid/late game content, continue off an old save, a lot of the more beefy aspects of the DLC appear more mid-late game, a lot of stuff will appear early as well but if you are looking to experience more new content i recommend playing off of an existing save.

Q: Is this the final DLC for isaac!? IS ISAAC REALLY FINISHED!
A: Yes, this will be the last DLC we release for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. the game will continue to be supported obviously, but its time to close the book on this 10 year project.

Q: how much of the old game has been changed? will i like the changes?
A: A LOT has been changed, there are literaly 100s of updates to nearly all aspects of the game, youll love some, hate others but in the end youll have a much better experience over all.

Q: Will it release on MAC?
A: No, here is a good example of why.

Q: how do you play local co-op? is it on the same keyboard.
Q: no, you need to buy a gamepad or 3 :)

Q: how do i start a co-op game? and are the old floating babies gone?
A: hit start on a gamepad in the start room to add a 2nd player for true co-op. hit start on a gamepad outside of the start room to spawn a baby and play classic co-op.

Q: is Repentance The Binding of isaac 2?
A: no, bit its close... its like isaac 1.9.

Q: will we get booster packs like we did before?
A: no.

Q: will the game be updated more post release?
A: the game will obviously feature bug fixes and balance updates, we may also do a few random updates with some rework for things like items/thevoid/delerium eventually but nothing is set in stone yet.

Q: whats next for isaac?
A: there will be a mega kickstarter in june that will feature TONS of Isaac swag as well as a mega expansion to the binding of isaac card game Four Souls... sign up here for the mailing list to get bonus extras and be notified!

12 HOURS REMAIN!

i managed to 100% one save and i’m debating leaving it untouched and starting over or working off it. i think it will come down to whether they change the icon art

According to Edmund, Repentence is best if you play on a 100(0000)% file first and then move on to a fresh file later
