The Binding of Isaac Repentance is a surprise DLC coming out for the nine-year-old game.

The DLC was announced as “the final sequel-sized expansion” by the creator Edmund McMillen. The Repentance DLC is now available to wishlist on Steam, and its store page is full of details and ever-impressive numbers.

Features

Repentance will have over 130 items, 100 enemies, 25 bosses, two playable characters, 5,000 potential room layouts, and 100 achievements when it arrives in the store. It also contains “a full alternate path with brand new chapters and a new final boss and ending,” according to the Steam page.

“It’s a game too big to be called a sequel: Repentance takes Isaac to new heights of roguelike dungeon adventure, as the brave boy descends into the basement for his greatest challenge yet,” as written on Steam. “Isaac’s new quest takes him to unknown places he’s never been, filled with horrible new enemies and bosses, weapon combos you’ve never synergized before, and items he’s never seen… unholy terrors from his wildest dreams and worst nightmares!”

“The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is so huge, so new and so feature-packed that it makes previous updates look like prequels,” it adds.

This is quite the statement considering the volume of DLC and updates the game has received prior to Repentance, from Rebirth to Afterbirth. Then again, all of that content also goes to show that The Binding of Isaac will never die down, so in a way, it comes as no surprise that Repentance is out to impress the fans again.

Release Date

The Repentance DLC drops on December 31st, 2020 on Steam, but this date is likely just a placeholder. Other than on PC, The Binding of Isaac Repentance will be available on the Nintendo Switch, Sony PS4, and Microsoft Xbox One, but no release date has been announced for consoles.

So if you’re a fan of The Binding of Isaac, you have a lot to look out for in the coming weeks!
