Oh definitely, that's something the Antibirth devs seem to be particularly good at.

The new blog post doesn't really have any news, it's mostly about Four Souls. I suppose the new track does confirm that the Mausoleum floor from Antibirth will be present, but that's not really a surprise, I'd say. Though for those how who aren't familiar with Antibirth, I can tell you that the Mausoleum is an extremely interesting floor.

The new track also opens us up to another discussion about whether the new soundtrack is better than Mudeth's Antibirth soundtrack (it's not), but I assume someone will mod it in almost immediately anyway

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.
Enemies that drain charge from your active item instead of damaging you is delightfully dickish.

Yeah, I'm honestly excited about that. Imagine enemies that can steal money/bombs/keys - of course, now that I've said it, I'm sure they're going to be in there. Edmund help us all!

I don't normally like that type of enemy but it brings a new threat to D6 runs where your plan can go to poo poo if you're not careful enough.

So pretty good!

New enemies and reskins of old ones







Also the rocks are gonna look different.

Looks like a lot of good changes! I like the more cartoony looks of the old enemies.

Wow, the game is really getting a whole new artstyle. I wonder if it will be possible to keep using the old sprites (though if it isn't, there'll probably be a mod for that a few days after release). Between this post talking about trying to make the enemies look like their flash incarnations, and that other statement about going back to pre-Rebirth balance, I'm getting the impression that the Antibirth team really liked the flash version.
It's certainly an improvement that new Vis doesn't look like it's wearing a red cravat.

This information will also be interesting for the Plushazel lovers:

I can't believe I'm getting this excited for the game again. He really does mean it's an Isaac 1.99. I'm sure we'll see a lot of patches and tweaks during the first year of player play and reception, too. I'm glad they took the time to clean the entire game up so much while doubling the content, that's a wonderful sendoff to the series combined with modding still being so solid. This really has been one of the best and most replayable games of the decade.

With all the effort they're putting into the smallest details, I'm kind of surprised that the Delirium revamp will apparently be pushed back into a post-release update. Is the fight that busted?

It might be a case of them wanting to see what comes up during the first weeks of post-release, to iron that out and the new content before they cans cap it off with an update that tweaks the end bosses in one go. And probably because of seriously bad code, yeah. Remember, Delirium now has to be updated with every single Antibirth boss add.

I'm still a bit worried by how much they're hyping up the magnitude of this expansion, but from the previews it certainly looks as if they'll be able to pull it off (and Antibirth is already an extremely solid foundation).

they're treating it like a sequel in a lot of ways which not only includes how much stuff they're adding to it and how much they're revamping old content but also how much they want to promote it

With how unlocks work adding new characters and bosses adds a lot more achievements than they used to. Like 2 new characters and 2 new bosses is already around 70 new achievements minimum.

Well, according to the post, "most of them" will get alt floors; I assume that means the Corpse doesn't get an alt since it's the final floor of the added path.

It could also be that Corpse does have a variant but there will be one more new floor after it. Right now the Antibirth route is one floor shorter than the main route, after all. It ends at the equivalent floor of Sheol/Cathedral and doesn't have a Dark Room/Chest floor.
