The Binding of Isaac Gets a Free Halloween Update
Edmund McMillen has announced his excellent roguelike The Binding of Isaac will receive a large update later today on Steam. (Expect it no later than Noon Pacific he says.)
The patch will be free to all owners of the title, and brings a significant amount of new content to the title including a brand new chapter–unlocked after killing mom 10 times–an additional “FINAL” ending, and an unlockable character.
New enemies, bosses, items, achievements, music, and more on top of everything else. I think you’ll find it all summed up nicely in the accompanying release trailer below. Full patch notes too:
